Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect Records Safe, Sound Operation In 1st Year

Date 19/11/2015

Yesterday, the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) held a sum-up symposium to mark the first anniversary of the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect. Fang Xinghai, Vice Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), attended the symposium and delivered a speech, and Gui Minjie, SSE Chairman of the Governors, also addressed the symposium. Fang said that on the basis of the existing practical experience, the CSRC would strive to improve the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect, expand the trading limits and the underlying scope, further strengthen cross-border regulatory cooperation and step up efforts in cross-border law enforcement. Meanwhile, the CSRC would effectively carry out the mutual recognition of funds in China’s mainland and Hong Kong, continue to advance the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect, and further push forward the integration of the two capital markets in China’s mainland and Hong Kong. Gui said in his speech that the SSE would vigorously propel the process of the two-way opening-up of the capital market in China’s mainland, including optimizing and improving the mechanism of Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect, press ahead with the smooth opening and stable operation of the China Europe International Exchange (CEINEX), spare no efforts in launching the international financial assets trading platform of Shanghai Free Trade Zone and study the launch of Shanghai-London Stock Connect.
