B-share reform beckons again

03 May 2012

During his recent trip to Guangdong province, Guo Shuqing, the chairman of China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), promised that the regulator would soon come up with a blueprint for reform of the B-share market, Shanghai’s foreign-currency denominated board which has not seen any new IPOs since 2001. Given the deepening of the domestic capital base since the B-share board was launched in the early 1990s – not to mention the increasingly rapid pace of renminbi internationalisation – Chinese commentators have been airing their views on whether B-shares still have a role to play in China’s financial system.
