The deadline for comments is December 08, 2019. The measures shall be implemented as of the date of promulgation. Additionally, the Measures for the Implementation of Administrative Licensing Matters by Foreign Banks, of the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC Order No. 3 of 2018), shall be repealed simultaneously.

The matters of a foreign-funded bank that shall be subject to administrative permission from CBIRC include establishment of the institution, change of the institution, termination of the institution, scope of business, qualifications of directors and senior managers, and other administrative regulations as required by laws, administrative regulations, and the State Council License matters.
