Shanghai on June 17 released a PBOC-approved plan to expand and upgrade the
Lingang New Area offshore financial services pilot. The scope is widened from an
offshore-trade single scenario to full-scope offshore business, enabling pilot
firms to deepen integration into global supply chains and broaden participation
in cross-border production, sales and services. The move formalises Lingang’s
strategic coordination of onshore and offshore activity and renames the scheme
accordingly.
