SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Foreign banks will be allowed to set up wholly-owned banks and branches in China, according to draft rules issued by the banking and insurance regulator on Thursday.
In a statement on its website, the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (CBIRC) said that branches of foreign banks would be required to keep more than 8 percent of yuan risk assets as yuan-denominated operational funds and reserves.
Chinese citizens would be allowed to establish time deposits exceeding 500,000 yuan in domestic branches of foreign banks, the draft rules said.
