China’s securities regulator is rolling out big plans to supercharge stock market investments, signaling confidence in undervalued A-shares. On Tuesday, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) pledged support for state-backed investor Central Huijin to expand its holdings, calling current A-share valuations 'historically low' and ripe for long-term gains.
The move aims to attract more institutional players—from public funds to insurance giants—to dive into the market. The CSRC also plans to streamline processes for smoother investments, comparing the strategy to a 'financial caffeine boost' for the economy. Analysts say this could mirror past successful stabilization efforts, with Central Huijin already ramping up ETF purchases to fuel momentum.
With major players like pension funds and private investors being urged to join, the regulator’s message is clear: China’s stock market is open for business—and the world’s young investors might want to take note.
