11日,中國人民銀行行長易綱在“貨幣政策的正常化”分論壇上宣布了12項金融業(yè)對外開放的重大舉措。
預(yù)計到今年6月30日將落實的有六條:
一、取消銀行和金融資產(chǎn)管理公司的外資持股比例限制,內(nèi)外資一視同仁,允許外國銀行在我國境內(nèi)同時設(shè)立分行和支行。
Foreign equity restrictions on banks and financial asset management firms will be canceled, with equal treatment for domestic and foreign-funded institutions. Foreign banks will be allowed to set up branches and subsidiaries at the same time in the country.
二、將證券公司、基金管理公司、期貨公司、人身保險公司的外資持股比例的上限放寬至51%。三年以后,不再設(shè)限。
