Listing reforms to be stepped up

China will deepen reforms of its listing system and actively promote mergers and acquisitions of listed companies, the China Securities Regulatory Commission said on Wednesday. The top securities regulator said it will accelerate the process to relax curbs on foreign shareholdings in the securities sector and implement the Shanghai-London Stock Connect this year. It will also support the inclusion of A shares in the FTSE Russell's global indexes. The commission will also step up the pace of perfecting stock repurchase system of listed companies to optimize their capital structure and investment value.
