Helping hand to invest overseas

Source: Xinhua | May 21, 2015, Thursday | Print Edition

CHINA has established a new investment company to help domestic enterprises invest abroad and encourage the export of the country’s advanced industrial capacity, the national economic planner said yesterday.

The new company has been approved by the central government as a subsidiary of state-owned China Investment Corp, one of the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds, and has started operation, said the National Development and Reform Commission.

The company was set up with an initial capital of US$5 billion and is likely to outvalue the Silk Road Fund, an infrastructure-oriented fund, said Gu Dawei, an official in charge of the NDRC’s overseas investment department.

China is striving to strengthen industrial capacity cooperation worldwide, basically moving production lines abroad, which helps recipient countries create jobs and modernize while boosting China’s exports.

The ambitious plan requires enormous investment funds.

Apart from the two funds mentioned above, the country already created several other investment companies including the China-Africa Development Fund and China-ASEAN Investment Corporation Fund to back the scheme.

China is now negotiating with Kazakhstan to develop an industrial cooperation fund worth US$6 billion between the two sides, Gu said.

More financial support measures for Chinese enterprises “going global” are on the way and the government will promote cross-border settlement using the yuan to facilitate trade and investment, Gu added.
