On March 18, SZSE held the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect online roadshow for the first time. 57 representatives of investment institutions from North America, Europe and Hong Kong participated in the event via the Internet. It’s a practical measure adopted by SZSE to further improve the services for overseas institutional investors during the pandemic and actively guide overseas medium- and long-term funds to enter the SZSE market.
Through the online roadshow, heads of SZSE briefed overseas investors on the firm steps of China in pushing forward sweeping reforms of the capital market, the key task of SZSE to steadily advance the international development, and the specific measures adopted by SZSE to support listed companies’ containment of the pandemic and resumption of work and production. Overseas investors said that the Chinese capital market was relatively stable after the outbreak of the pandemic and that would help global financial markets address common challenges. They believed that the pandemic would not shake the strong foundation for the long-term stable development of China and expressed confidence in the basic trend of steady long-term growth for China’s economy development.
Since the beginning of March, SZSE has held two online exchanges for listed companies and overseas investors to support the former in actively using the cross-border communication platforms of the capital market to strengthen connection with global markets and capital. Next, SZSE will continue to implement relevant arrangements of the CSRC, improve the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect platform, actively explore diversified market connection models and cross-border products and innovate in cross-border service modes to attract more long-term capital, and unswervingly advance high-level opening up in an orderly manner.
