近日，《海南自由贸易港法》通过，对此，丝路智谷研究院院长梁海明对《环球时报》表示，该法的颁布有望成为海南自由贸易港建设的支柱，并带来透明度。他还表示：毫无疑问，这将增强外国投资者对我们系统的信心，因为法律的实施将使事情变得更加可预测。
China on Thursday enacted a law to make the Southern tropical island province Hainan a world-class free trade port, which is set to further promote the building of the port and facilitate trade and investment.
The nations top legislature on Thursday approved the law, which stipulated a step-by-step approach in establishing policy and governance to ensure the orderly flow of trade, investment, people, logistics and data.
Liang Haiming, dean of the Belt and Road Institute at Hainan University, told the Global Times on Thursday that the enactment of the law is expected to serve as a pillar for the building of the Hainan free trade port and also bring transparency.
"Undoubtedly, this will boost foreign investors confidence in our system as the implementation of the law will make things more predictable," Liang said.
The southern island province is Chinas largest free trade area and is the only free trade area that has a law specially written for it.
The legislation was passed after it was reviewed by the National Peoples Congress Standing Committee. The law is in line with a master plan announced in June for transforming the entire province - about twice as big as the San Francisco Bay Area - into a globally influential high-level free trade port by the middle of the century.
A free trade port system focusing on trade and investment liberalization and facilitation will be "basically established" in Hainan by 2025 and become "more mature" by 2035, according to the master plan.
Pan Gongsheng, deputy governor of the Peoples Bank of China, said at the Lujiazui Forum in Shanghai on Thursday that the State Administration of Foreign Exchange plans to launch pilot programs for higher-level opening up in foreign exchange management in Shanghais Lingang, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and some parts in the Hainan Free Trade Port.
In December , the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Commerce released a shortened list of sectors off-limit to foreign investors, further relaxing restrictions on foreign investment. The list is expected to be further relaxed.
