China allows banks to invest in foreign stock


China's cash-rich commercial banks have been allowed for the first time to invest in foreign stocks with funds managed on behalf of their clients.

The China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) gave the official go-ahead Friday to allow commercial banks, holding the qualified domestic institutional investor certificates, or QDIIS, to issue wealth management products that invest in overseas stocks.
