A meeting was recently held by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) to convey and study the spirit of the second clean government work conference of the State Council and to make plans for implementation. Yi Gang, administrator and secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the SAFE, presided over the meeting.

The meeting underlined the importance of studying and implementing the spirit of the conference for the present and for the foreseeable future. The SAFE should conscientiously implement the central government's requirements for combating corruption and upholding integrity, promote the building of a clean government through institutional reforms, and strive to achieve new progress in its efforts to combat corruption and to build a clean government.

At the meeting it was emphasized that the SAFE should implement the spirit of the third plenum of the eighteenth Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the second clean government work conference of the State Council, further integrating anti-corruption and upholding integrity in foreign exchange administration efforts. Specifically, the SAFE should (1) continue to implement the eight-point guideline and the three-point covenant; (2) deepen the reform of foreign exchange administration in key areas and continue to streamline administration and delegate power to lower levels; (3) enhance the building of institutional systems to combat corruption, to uphold integrity, and to deepen risk controls in this regard; (4) impose stringent rules on financial discipline and management; (5) advance transparency in foreign exchange administration; and (6) enforce rigid discipline. Leadership teams should play an exemplary role in implementing the rules for improving the work styles of CPC officials, for building clean government, and for ensuring that decrees of the central government are adequately conveyed to the lower levels.
