上海市政府が外資系PEファンド規制緩和か？

ウォールストリート・ジャーナル紙の報道によると、上海市政府が海外PEファンド組成に関わる規制を緩和する方向。ただ専門家によれば、どれほどの外貨管理規制緩和に結びつくか疑問を呈しており、本格的に参入するかは疑問だ。

China's commercial center, Shanghai, will make it easier for foreigners to invest in the private-equity sector, a move that could give the nascent homegrown industry a boost even as it further opens a potentially lucrative market to outsiders.
Under a trial program, certain types of foreign investors can apply to convert foreign currency into yuan, which they can directly invest in private-equity funds based in Shanghai. The program would allow the investors to bypass China's tough restrictions on bringing funds into the country for financial investments—limits that are part of Beijing's effort to control its currency and limit outside participation in potentially volatile markets such as stocks and real estate.　(WSJ)
