Beijing rolls out measures to support China’s stock market
AI · First reported 3 Nov, 05:57 · Updated 06:43
China has introduced measures to make funding for stock purchases easier and share buybacks cheaper, following an 8.5 per cent fall in the CSI300 in October. Analysts cited in the report say the steps could steady prices in the near term, while a durable recovery would depend on stronger growth, corporate earnings and investor confidence.
- The CSI300 fell 8.5 per cent in October, its worst monthly performance since early 2016.
- The measures include a central-bank swap facility for financial institutions and a cut in the rate on loans for share buybacks from 1.25 per cent to 1 per cent.
- Analysts say support may cushion near-term losses, but lasting gains would require better economic growth and corporate earnings.
