From November 12 to 13, the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) International Investor Conference was held. Qiu Yong, Chairman of the SSE, stated that looking ahead to the "16th Five-Year Plan," the SSE will thoroughly implement the guiding principles of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee and the Central Financial Work Conference. Under the strong leadership of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), the exchange will focus on risk prevention, robust regulation, and high-quality development, adhering to a principle of stability while pursuing innovation to accelerate its transformation into a world-class bourse.
The SSE will prioritize fostering new productive forces by optimizing key systems such as IPO, refinancing, and mergers and acquisitions (M&A). This will channel capital into cutting-edge technologies, advanced manufacturing, and future industries, driving deeper integration between technological and industrial innovation.
Additionally, the SSE aims to cultivate an index-based investment ecosystem that promotes rational, value-driven, and long-term investment strategies. This will encourage more medium- and long-term capital to enter the market, achieving a dynamic balance between investment and financing.
Efforts will also focus on enhancing corporate governance and disclosure quality among listed companies, strengthening dividend payouts and share buybacks to bolster investment value through stable performance and sustained returns.
Furthermore, the SSE will steadily expand institutional openness, broaden cross-border investment and financing channels, and enrich its international product offerings to enhance global competitiveness and appeal.
Simultaneously, the exchange will better coordinate development and security, continuously strengthen technology-driven regulation and services, and improve end-to-end risk monitoring, early warning, and resolution mechanisms to ensure market stability and safeguard investor rights.
