Foreign capital quotas set for major increase

Tenfold rise probable, top regulator says

A major increase in overseas capital will be allowed into the domestic A-share market, China's top securities regulator said in Hong Kong on Monday.

The A-share quota may increase at least nine to 10 times for the two key investment programs, the renminbi-qualified foreign institutional investor and the qualified foreign institutional investor, Guo Shuqing, chairman of China Securities Regulatory Commission, said at the Asian Financial Forum.
