Stabilizing Foreign Investment Action Plan: 15 measures at a glance | 利用外资固稳促优行动方案：15条举措总览
Overview
On 16 June 2026, China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM), the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the Ministry of Finance (MOF) jointly issued the Action Plan for Stabilizing and Improving Foreign Investment (利用外资固稳促优行动方案) (商资发〔2026〕97号), with the approval of the State Council. A State Council Information Office (SCIO) briefing on 22 June 2026 detailed the measures, which began rolling out from 1 July 2026. The plan is the most comprehensive pro-foreign-investment package in recent years, organised around 15 concrete measures in five areas.
This article summarises the plan’s structure and the measures most relevant to foreign-invested enterprises (FIEs) entering or operating in China, and points to the dedicated briefs on services opening, financial opening, cross-border data, and other topics.
Informational guidance only; the exact thresholds and implementation timelines are set by the responsible authorities and local rules, so verify with the competent department before acting.
Five areas and 15 measures
1. Broadening market access
- Services sector. Steadily expand opening pilots for vocational-skills training institutions, vocational colleges, and high-level science/engineering/agriculture/medicine universities. Upgrade the Beijing Integrated National Demonstration Zone for Service Sector Opening, piloting digital-economy and healthcare modern-service measures. Upgrade the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA) with Hong Kong and Macao, opening the services sector to Hong Kong and Macau investors first.
- Financial sector. Support more foreign institutions in using risk-management tools including Treasury futures; allow foreign institutions to conduct fund investment-advisory business; provide cross-border financing convenience quotas for key FIEs; encourage domestic banks to offer “agency document preparation” international settlement services to large FIEs; optimise pre-IPO communication at exchanges and support qualified FIEs in domestic listings.
- Pharma and related industries. Study and issue rules for drug segmented manufacturing to facilitate overseas marketing-authorisation holders in cross-border segmented manufacturing of biologics and chemicals; expand pilot regions for biotechnology and wholly-foreign-owned hospitals; encourage insurers to cover more innovative drugs and devices and bring quality innovative products into the retail channel.
2. Improving investment convenience
- Foreign M&A. Accelerate revision of the rules on foreign investors acquiring domestic enterprises, streamlining process and consideration payment, and allowing qualified foreign equity-investment institutions to participate as strategic investors in securities issuance by non-related listed companies.
- Cross-border data. Support FTZs and service-opening pilot cities in exploring scenario-based, field-level data-export negative lists in more areas; promote national standards for important-data identification catalogs in industries such as industry, telecom, geoinformation, automotive, pharma, seeds, aerospace and civil aviation.
- Re-investment and R&D. Implement the tax preference for overseas investors directly investing distributed profits; include more re-investment projects in the major/key foreign-investment project lists; attract foreign R&D centres with facilitated introduction of high-end foreign talent and import tax preferences for research goods.
3. Raising investment-promotion level
- Build the “Invest in China” brand, establish a digital integrated service platform and portal, and issue lists of encouraged and prohibited local investment-promotion acts to standardise local competition for FDI.
4. Strengthening service safeguards
- National treatment. Extend enterprise-support policies to FIEs on an equal basis (except where laws mandate otherwise or national security is involved); apply fair-competition review in government procurement and bidding.
- Consumer participation and business environment. Support FIEs in green-consumption and international-consumer-city initiatives without brand-based exclusion; optimise the online business-environment complaint mechanism; strengthen closed-loop handling of FIE operational blockages.
5. Optimising investment management
- Promote regional investment coordination and upgrade the foreign-investment information reporting system for better data sharing across foreign-exchange registration, licensing and fixed-asset investment.
What to do next
- Track the five implementation tracks and map which measures affect your sector (services, finance, pharma, data, M&A).
- For services or pharma openings, monitor Beijing demonstration-zone and FTZ pilot announcements for eligibility and application windows.
- For finance, assess eligibility for cross-border financing quotas and domestic-listing pre-communication.
- For data, review whether your industry’s “important data” catalog or an FTZ field-level negative list applies to your cross-border transfers.
- Engage the “Invest in China” platform and local investment-promotion offices early; confirm national-treatment coverage in procurement/bidding.
- Reconfirm timelines with the responsible authority before committing investment decisions.
