At the 2025 Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) International Investors Conference held on November 12-13, SSE Vice President Wang Bo emphasized that the M&A market serves as a golden gateway to investing in China's future. The SSE will further implement reforms in financing and investment to attract more high-quality enterprises to go public. Additionally, the exchange will enhance institutional inclusivity and adaptability, fostering an M&A environment that aligns with technological innovation and foreign investment needs.
Wang Bo stated that the SSE is deepening cooperation with global capital markets, refining its service system—including M&A—to provide international investors with comprehensive, professional services. The exchange will continue improving regulatory efficiency and flexibility, supporting high-quality M&A cases while maintaining a balanced market order that is both "dynamic and well-regulated." Listed companies are encouraged to conduct performance briefings during M&A processes and strengthen communication with global investors. The SSE will also optimize cross-border connectivity mechanisms to facilitate international investment in China’s markets.
Wang Bo noted that since last year, A-share listed companies have entered a new active cycle in M&A. Since the introduction of the "Six M&A Guidelines," over 1,000 M&A deals have been disclosed by SSE-listed firms, including 115 major asset restructurings—a 138% year-on-year increase.
