At an enlarged meeting on the morning of September 3, 2021, the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) Party Committee earnestly studied General Secretary Xi’s speech, the CPC Central Committee's decision on the establishment of a Beijing Stock Exchange and the relevant arrangements made by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC). It was unanimously agreed that the establishment of a Beijing Stock Exchange is an important decision and arrangement made by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council. It is also an important link in the construction of a multi-tiered capital market as well as an important arrangement to deepen the reform of the capital market and improve its function. Besides, it is of great significance for improving China's capital market system, making up for the shortcomings of the capital market in serving SMEs, helping the innovative development of SMEs, and promoting the overall virtuous cycle of the national economy and high-quality economic development. The SSE firmly and fully supports deepening the reform of the NEEQ, and warmly congratulates on the establishment of the Beijing Stock Exchange!
