FDI curbs in real estate may be eased

The government may relax rules on inward foreign direct investment (FDI) to prevent it from sliding further, sources from the Ministry of Commerce said yesterday.

"We have drawn up a plan to relax some restrictions on foreign investment, particularly in the real-estate sector," an official from the Ministry of Commerce, who did not want to be named, confirmed to China Daily.

"This is a coordinated job, involving a number of other ministries."
