1. 合格境外投资者投资额度限制被取消
2019年9月10日,国家外汇管理局发文决定取消合格境外机构投资者(QFII)和人民币合格境外机构投资者(RQFII)(合称“合格境外投资者”)投资额度限制。
今后,具备相应资格的境外机构投资者,只需进行登记即可自主汇入资金开展符合规定的证券投资,境外投资者参与境内金融市场的便利性将再次大幅提升,中国债券市场和股票市场也将更好、更广泛地被国际市场接受。同时,国家外汇管理局正在按程序报请国务院取消相应行政许可项目,待批准后,由国务院统一对外公布。
下一步,国家外汇管理局将立即着手修订《合格境外机构投资者境内证券投资外汇管理规定》(国家外汇管理局公告 2018年第1号)等相关法规,明确不再对单家合格境外投资者的投资额度进行备案和审批。境外投资者在获得证券监督管理部门批准的相关资格后,应委托境内托管银行按规定办理相关登记,凭国家外汇管理局出具的业务登记凭证在托管银行开立专用资金账户及办理后续资金汇兑等业务。
1. Restrictions on Investment Quota of Qualified Foreign Investors (QFII/ RQFII) Abolished
On September 10, 2019, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) decided to lift restrictions on the investment quota under Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (QFII) Scheme and RMB Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (RQFII) Scheme (hereinafter collectively referred to as “qualified foreign investors”).
Henceforth, foreign institutional investors with corresponding qualifications will only need to go through registration procedure, so as to remit funds independently to make securities investment in accordance with the regulations. It is a positive move, either in terms of significantly facilitating the participation of foreign investors in the domestic financial market, or further opening China's bond and stock markets. At the same time, the SAFE has reported to the State Council to cancel the corresponding administrative licensing items in accordance with the procedures, and after approval, the State Council will publish it to the public in a unified manner.
Next, the SAFE will immediately proceed to revise the Provisions on the Foreign Exchange Administration of Domestic Securities Investment by Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (Announcement No.1 [2018] of the SAFE) and other relevant regulations, to make it clear that the investment quota of a single qualified foreign investor will no longer be recorded and approved. After obtaining relevant qualifications granted by the securities regulators, the foreign investor should entrust a domestic custodian bank to go through relevant registration procedure as required, and with the business registration certificate issued by the SAFE, open a fund account in the custodian bank specifically for the follow-up fund remittance and exchange and other business.

2. 央行“全面降准+定向降准”推动融资“量增价降”
中国人民银行决定于2019年9月16日全面下调金融机构存款准备金率0.5个百分点(不含财务公司、金融租赁公司和汽车金融公司)。

此次降准释放长期资金约9000亿元,其中全面降准释放资金约8000亿元,定向降准释放资金约1000亿元,有效增加金融机构支持实体经济的资金来源,还降低银行资金成本每年约150亿元,通过银行传导可以降低贷款实际利率。
此次降准与9月中旬税期形成对冲,银行体系流动性总量仍将保持基本稳定,且定向降准分两次实施,有利于稳妥有序释放资金。
2. Overall RRR Cut and Targeted RRR Cut by PBC Promotes Increase in Credit Offering and Reduction in Financing Cost
The People's Bank of China (PBC) decided to lower the reserve requirement ratio (RRR) for financial institutions by 0.5 percentage points on September 16, 2019 (excluding finance companies, financial leasing companies, and auto finance companies).
In an effort to intensify the support for micro and small businesses and private enterprises, urban commercial banks operating solely within provincial administrative divisions will additionally enjoy a targeted cut of one percentage point in the RRR. The reduction will be implemented on October 15 and November 15, with a cut of 0.5 percentage points each time.
This round of RRR cut will release a long-term fund of around RMB 900 billion, including an overall RRR cut of about RMB 800 billion and a targeted RRR cut of about RMB 100 billion, thereby effectively increasing the sources of funds for financial institutions to bolster up the real economy. It will also reduce the capital costs of banks by about RMB15 billion each year, subsequently with the real interest rate of loans to be lowered through bank transmission.
As this round of RRR cut is expected to be hedged with the tax period in mid-September, the total liquidity in the banking system will remain basically stable. Besides, the targeted RRR cut will be implemented in two steps, conducive to the solid and orderly release of funds.
