The People's Bank of China and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange have issued the 'Measures for the Administration of Overseas Lending by Domestic Enterprises.' According to these measures, domestic enterprises must register with the local foreign exchange bureau before making any overseas loans. The loans must be made using the company's own funds, and personal funds or debt financing are not allowed. The registered loan amount must be used within two years; any unused portion will automatically expire. Additionally, the outstanding balance of the loans must not exceed the specified upper limit.
