On supervision, the draft sets out categories of outbound investment, regulatory responsibilities, and procedures and timelines for approvals and filings. It says investors must obtain either an approval document or a filing notice before carrying out an outbound investment. For resident individuals newly brought into scope, the approval authority would be the National Development and Reform Commission, while the filing authority would be the provincial-level development and reform department in the place of household registration or habitual residence.
