On December 6, Wu Qing, Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), stated that efforts would be made to strengthen differentiated supervision, supporting high-quality institutions while restricting underperformers. High-quality brokerages may see relaxed capital and leverage constraints to enhance efficiency, while small and foreign brokerages could face tailored regulatory approaches to encourage specialized growth.
Shanxi Securities noted that as regulatory policies improve, some brokerages may expand overseas operations and leverage competitive advantages for steady growth, presenting investment opportunities.
