Service-related foreign exchange payment procedures are simplified. Domestic entities and domestic individuals benefit from procedure simplification for contracts below US$5,000 and an increased foreign exchange purchase limits to US$20,000.

Current account foreign exchange retention, conversion from renminbi, and outbound remittance as payment for goods and especially for services by individuals as well as by companies and other entities have been further liberalized with effect from May 1 2006.
