China's pension funds will be ready for investment in stocks and equities in 2016 after the government sets rules to regulate the change, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said on Tuesday. Officials are investigating how best to transfer funds from local governments to the provincial level and allocate funds to authorized institutions for investment, said Li Zhong, spokesperson for the ministry, at a news conference.
