China triples investment abroad in Q3
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-10-27 20:17 BEIJING: Chinese investment abroad surged 190.4 percent year on year to US$20.47 billion in the third quarter, the Ministry of Commerce said Tuesday in a statement on its website.
The figures excluded investments by financial institutions. The ministry attributed the investment growth to policies the ministry put into place this year to encourage domestic companies to invest overseas amid the global economic downturn. The policies included measures to ease procedures for investment approval, support with financial services and credit, overseas investment guidance, and arranged trade and investment delegations to Europe and North and South America. |
