At a Sept. 10 press briefing SAFE deputy director Li Bin said that during the
15th Five‑Year Plan China’s exports and imports will be more coordinated,
outbound and inbound investment will expand, and China’s balance of payments is
expected to remain broadly balanced. SAFE will step up coordination of
development and security, further facilitate cross‑border trade and investment
to boost foreign‑related economic momentum and both scale and structure of the
BoP, while strengthening macroprudential management, monitoring and early
warning of cross‑border capital flows and enhancing FX market vitality and
resilience to prudently address external shocks.
