Recently, the SAFE and Renmin (Peoples) University of China jointly convened an expert panel discussion, during which the research achievements on the topic of Foreign Exchange Supervision and Construction of a Credit Systemwere demonstrated. This forward-looking theoretical research on the construction of a foreign exchange credit system in accordance with the strategic plan of the State Council for the construction of a social credit system and based on preliminary experiences from the construction of a foreign exchange credit market system, and in light of the actual conditions for foreign exchange management is important work undertaken by the SAFE for the construction of a foreign exchange credit system

In recent years, the SAFE has been actively exploring the construction of a foreign exchange credit system and has carried out many important tasks. In 2003, the SAFE worked out a five-year plan for the construction of a foreign exchange credit system.  In 2005, it conducted work for disclosure of information on illegal (negative) foreign exchange, thus increasing the costs of dishonesty from illegal and anti-regulatory behavior. In 2006, the SAFE disclosed for the first time over 400 enterprises that had been involved in evasive illegal or anti-regulatory foreign exchange operations. At present, the SAFE has already disclosed 2,516 cases of illegal foreign exchange operations and 627 cases of enterprise fraud. Moreover, the SAFE has actively adopted a credit management method for the daily work of foreign exchange management and introduced a classified supervisory system for oversight and management of abnormal foreign exchange capital. It has implemented in succession the systems of Highlighted Enterprises for Export Receipts and the Watch-list for Foreign Exchange Sales,etc. which target abnormal collections and sales under the trade account. These systems enable the SAFE to realize classified supervision and sound management according to the nature of the different situations.

Henceforth, the SAFE will further strengthen the construction of a foreign exchange credit system and continue to carry out theoretical research and practical explorations.
