NDRC: Revised investment list ready this year

The government will bring forward the revision of a key investment approval catalog, a move that will lower barriers to corporate investment, a senior official said on Thursday.

Li Pumin, secretary-general of the National Development and Reform Commission, the top economic planner, told reporters that the document - which specifies what kind of investment projects require government approval - was originally intended to be completed in 2015.

Now, it will be finished this year.
