Foreign capital flows rise via stock connects

Net capital inflow into China's A-share market through stock connects hit a record high in January, indicating that foreign investors are upping their involvement in the market this year.

In January, a net total of 60.69 billion yuan ($8.97 billion) flowed into the A-share market through northbound trading under the connect mechanism between the mainland and Hong Kong bourses.

This marked the first time that the monthly net inflow topped 60 billion yuan since the mechanism debuted in 2014.
