In 2021, the SOEs listed on SZSE carried out 24 major assets restructurings, with transaction volume exceeding CNY 160 billion. SZSE established diversified cooperation mechanisms with 87 central-administered SOEs to practically promote the implementation of many reform projects. As at the end of 2021, more than 250 SZSE-listed companies were engaged in green industries such as new energy materials, new energy vehicles, and energy conservation and environment protection, with a cumulative equity financing of over CNY 770 billion; and their market value totaled over CNY 7 trillion, accounting for 18% of that of all SZSE-listed companies.

Next, SZSE will continue implementing the decisions and plans of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council and the guiding principles of the CPC economic work conferences, and follow the principles of “system building, non-intervention and zero tolerance” and the requirements of revering the market, revering the rule of law, holding high professionalism, staying alert to risks, and obtaining support from various parties.
