When launched in 2007, China's Enterprise Bankruptcy Law was groundbreaking and has become one of the most significant pieces of legislation underpinning China's market economy. Across the law and the growing sophistication in the approach of insolvency practitioners, China's bankruptcy regime provides investors with certainty, transparency and protection during a restructuring process.

3. Practical challenges, including negotiation with banks and balancing the role of local government.
