Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

These coordinated measures aim to strengthen market resilience and boost investor confidence in China's capital market. The SFISF allows eligible companies to use assets as collateral to secure highly liquid assets, increasing their capacity to buy stocks. Furthermore, the expansion of the share buyback facility encourages major companies to increase their stock holdings.
