Meanwhile, regulations on the maturity of the issued bonds were changed, allowing enterprises to change the terms and conditions of bonds.

The new decree also cancelled a number of regulations, including those on determining the status of professional securities investors as individuals and corporate credit ratings.

The decree took effect from March 5./.
