A More Mature Capital Market Structure
With the opening of the new bourse in Beijing, the Chinese government aims to provide a more mature capital market structure to support start-ups and reduce their debt levels. Prior to the existence of digital credit products such as Baitiao, Huabei and Jiebei and after the Chinese government’s crackdown on such products, lending had been and is currently dominated by state-owned banks. To learn more about Baitiao, Huabei and Jiebei, you may refer to other articles published by the same economics tutor Singapore on the website of Economics Cafe Learning Centre, the best economics tuition Singapore centre. This makes it difficult for startups which have no solid track record and limited assets to get loans to fund their aggressive expansion and growth.
The new bourse in Beijing also marks the latest in a slew of initiatives to diversify the country’s capital market. In July 2020, Shanghai’s Science and Technology Innovation Board, or STAR Market was launched. Aiming at providing Chinese science and technology companies with greater access to capital markets, it is touted as the Chinese equivalent of Nasdaq. In consultation with your economics tutor Singapore in economics tuition Singapore, compare the STAR Market with Nasdaq. Since its launch, the STAR Market has hosted the initial public offerings by over 300 companies. In April 2021, Guangzhou Futures Exchange was launched. Guangzhou Futures Exchange, with its focus on environmental products including carbon futures, is the fifth futures exchange in China. The other four future exchanges are Shanghai Futures Exchange, Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange, Dalian Commodity Exchange and China Financial Futures Exchange.
