BEIJING — China has rolled out a string of policies to make it easier for Macao firms to conduct cross-border investment and financing in the Hengqin free trade zone in Guangdong's Zhuhai city.

Such policies include expanding currencies available for foreign debt and streamlining related procedures, according to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange.

The forex regulator said these steps would be gradually implemented to support Macao's economic, trade, investment and financing development.
