After twice disclosing in 2006 and 2007 the names of over 600 untraceable companies accused of foreign exchange fraud and in order to coincide with the 2008 nationwide Promotion of Honest Business Operations Month, the SAFE recently again disclosed cases of fraud by untraceable enterprises.
Since April 2006, the SAFE has implemented a system for disclosure of (negative) information regarding illegal foreign exchange activities throughout the country, regularly releasing the information publicly and responding to online inquiries, in particular exposing information about fraud by untraceable enterprises both on the Web site of the SAFE and in the Financial Times.
The 83 cases of fraud in the present disclosure represent the recent results of the foreign exchange administration and law enforcement inspections.  In their operations, these enterprises violated the relevant laws and regulations of the state regarding foreign exchange administration. In addition, for other reasons they had their entity qualifications deregistered. As a result, the foreign exchange administrative departments cannot place the cases thereof on file or impose punishment. Such behavior not only disrupted the normal business environment and orderly competition in the foreign exchange market, but also resulted in hidden dangers to the financial security of the state. Therefore, enterprises and the relevant departments shall pay more attention to untraceable enterprises that commit foreign exchange violations, and shall prevent them from continuing to become in involved in other illegal activities that may cause damages to enterprises that are engaged in normal business operations.
