China Regulator Funnels Billions of Yuan Into Stocks After Sell-Off

3 articles · Updated · South China Morning Post · Jul 24

Summary

  • The China Securities Regulatory Commission said it will steer more medium- and long-term money into equities and fine-tune counter-cyclical support to stabilize trading after this month’s sharp sell-off.
  • Thursday’s measures are meant to keep market operations smooth and strengthen resilience against global volatility and cross-border risk transmission, which the regulator said require deeper policy reserves.
  • Tens of billions of yuan have already been deployed by state-backed groups including China Reform Holdings and China Chengtong Holdings Group to buy A-shares and help put a floor under the slide.
  • Earlier this week, CSRC chairman Wu Qing met institutional asset managers, corporate executives and retail investors to gather proposals on making the market more stable.
