      7. Acquire immovable property

      Investment in shares of companies incorporated in shares will be subject to prevailing ownership restrictions (including foreign ownership restrictions) applicable to certain sectors/industries – e.g. foreign ownership in companies engaged in mass communication is restricted to 40%.

       

      投资股份公司的股票将受适用于某些部门/行业的现行所有权限制(包括外国所有权限制)。如大众传媒公司的外国所有权限制在40%以内。

       

      Investment in immovable property is restricted to apartments (presently apartments above the 4th floor) as foreign ownership of other immovable property is not permitted.

       

      不动产投资仅限于公寓(目前位于四层以上的公寓),外资所有权不允许拥有其他不动产

       

      Funds required for the Prescribed Investments must be remitted through Inward Investment Accounts (IIA) (previously called Securities Investment Accounts (SIA)) established by the investors with licensed commercial banks. The process of establishing IAAs (IIA)is reasonably straightforward subject to the usual KYC and customer due diligence undertaken by licensed commercial banks.

       

      投资规定所需的资金必须通过投资者在持牌商业银行开立的向内投资账户(IIA)(以前称为证券投资账户(SIA))汇出。通常情况下,由持牌商业银行进行的客户尽职调查及了解你的客户,成立向内投资账户(IIA)的过程是相当简单明了.

       

      All income and proceeds on disposal, liquidation and maturity of investments (capital and profits) can be repatriated through the investor’s IIA without restriction or regulatory approvals.

       

      所有收入及收益处置,清算及到期投资(资本和利润)都可通过投资者的向内投资账户收回,不受限制或监管批准
