Regulators will also consider amending rules to allow Chinese citizens to participate in stock incentive plans of companies listed overseas.

Chinese authorities are contemplating proposals to allow citizens to invest in overseas securities and insurance within the current annual individual quota of $50,000, a foreign exchange official said.

Widening the investment categories signals a slight easing of China’s strict capital controls. The $50,000 limit, imposed since 2007, can currently only be applied for overseas travel, study or work.
