According to the statement, the new rules will take effect on May 1.

They require the transfer of State-owned assets in unlisted financial institutions to be handled by provincial or higher level of property rights exchange institutions.

The transfer of State-owned assets in listed financial institutions also must go through a liable securities exchange system, according to the new rules. If the majority shareholder of the listed financial institution wants to make such a transfer, it also must file an application through the Ministry of Finance.
