China Allows Qualified Foreign Firms to List on Domestic Stock Exchanges
China has introduced a new action plan allowing qualified foreign-funded companies to list on domestic stock exchanges and easing regulations on mergers and acquisitions involving foreign and Chinese firms. The plan, issued by key government ministries, also permits foreign equity investment firms to participate in share issuances of certain listed companies. These measures aim to attract foreign investment, boost market confidence, and support economic activity amid global uncertainties. Mainland Chinese equities rose following the announcement, while Hong Kong stocks declined due to concerns over US interest rates.
