Draft regulations unveiled for technology board
    2019-02-01  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

CHINA has published draft rules for a Nasdaq-style startup board in Shanghai, the China Securities Regulatory Commission said Wednesday, potentially competing with Hong Kong and New York for listings of tech firms.

The so-called technology innovation board will mainly host companies in technology and emerging sectors, such as high-tech equipment manufacturing, new energy, biotechnology, big data and cloud computing, the regulator said.

“This will enable the capital markets to support the development of China’s core technologies and innovative capabilities,” the regulator said in a statement.

“It will also help Shanghai become an international financial center as well as a hub for technology innovation.”

Plans for the technology board were announced by President Xi Jinping in November last year and are expected to help counter U.S. curbs on China’s technology development.

It will not be the first time that China has come up with a new listing avenue in the hope of creating tech companies as successful as U.S. giants, such as Google and Amazon.com Inc.

With the new board, China aims to set some regulations to ensure the listing process is smoother.

The board will be paired with a registration-based system for initial public offerings and will be less stringent in its listing criteria, such as allowing companies that have yet to make a profit and startups with weighted voting rights to list.

In a separate document issued by the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the exchange said it would widen daily trading limits of the new board by allowing stocks to rise or fall by 20 percent each day before trading was halted.

There will also be no daily limits for the first five trading days of newly listed stocks on the new board, to allow for more trading flexibility. (SD-Agencies)
