Economic restructuring process seen boosting the confidence of international investors

Foreign direct investment in China is likely to maintain its momentum in the second half while the whole year will see overall FDI inflow basically match that of last year, a commerce official said on Thursday.

"I believe that FDI in the second half of the year will continue to maintain growth as we are taking measures to improve the investment environment and boost industries, in line with the country's economic restructuring process, which will strengthen the confidence of global investors," said Cao Hongying, deputy director-general of the Foreign Investment Administration at the Ministry of Commerce.
