China Updates- Outbound Investment

On 6th September, 2014, the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) issued the final version of the Administrative Measires for Overseas Investment (the "MOFCOM Outbound Measures"). These and the National Development Reform Commission's (NDRC) own Outbound Measures, issued earlier in the year, are intended to reduce red tape over outbound investments by delegating approvals to NOFCOM's and NDRC's local (provincial/ state) offices. The effective date is 6th October, 2014.

Primasia Corporate Services Ltd.'s business matching service aims to match Chinese companies seeking to invest overseas with suitable foreign business owners. Such outboung investments are subject to approval (or filing procedures) with the NDRC and MOFCOM before the investment can be made. Considerations include (for NDRC) whether a project is in line with China's industrail policies and whether the investor has the financial strength to carry out the project, MOFCOM has authority to review all cross-border enterprise-formation matters.

Hong Kong Updates- Paternity leave

Draft legislation to introduce paternity leave has been amended to offer up to 7 days' leave instead of the 3 days previously proposed (and approved by the Labour Advisory Board). However, since the issue has become a hot potato, the legislation's smooth passage through the legislature is less certain than before.

Primasia Corporate Services Ltd. will provide updates on this blog.
