Outbound Investment

In step with strong economic growth at home, China is going global. Since 2005, the central government has implemented various policies, including extension of credit, insurance and foreign exchange services, to PRC entities in an effort to encourage outbound investment. This “Going Global” initiative is now an important part of China’s macroeconomic strategy, and DaHui is on the cutting edge of the policy and strategy developments.
