China Securities Regulator Outlines Measures to Support Stock Market Stability

At the Shanghai Stock Exchange’s 2026 International Investors Conference on November 12, an official from the China Securities Regulatory Commission said the regulator would work with other departments to strengthen mechanisms for stabilizing the stock market and market expectations.

The official said securities and fund companies had conducted 100 billion yuan in a third round of swap-facility operations. The regulator also plans to make full use of two structural monetary policy tools and support increased share buybacks and shareholding increases by listed companies.

According to the official, the value of newly disclosed buyback plans, actual buyback spending, and the value and proportion of buybacks involving share cancellation had all reached record highs this year.

The official also called for more equity investment products, faster investment by active ETFs, broader channels for long-term funds to enter the market, and a stronger countercyclical role for margin financing and securities lending.
