中国经济要闻
The top securities regulators in the Chinese mainland and the Hong Kong SAR said on Monday that they have agreed in principle to expand the range of stocks eligible under the Stock Connect program between the two capital markets.
The move seeks to further deepen mutual stock market access between the Chinese mainland and the HKSAR and promote the development of both capital markets, according to a joint statement released by the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission.
The Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect, which started operating in 2014 and 2016 respectively, give mainland and international investors direct access to each other's stock markets.
For northbound trading, eligible stocks will include constituent stocks of the Shanghai Stock Exchange A Share Index and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange Composite Index that have a market capitalization of 5 billion yuan or above and meet certain liquidity criteria.
Stocks of companies listed on the two mainland exchanges that have issued both A shares and H shares will also be included.
For southbound trading, the scope of eligible stocks will be expanded to include stocks of foreign companies primary-listed in Hong Kong that are constituents of the Hang Seng Composite Indices and meet relevant criteria.
Also, the scope of southbound eligible stocks under Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect will be aligned with that under Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect to include constituents of the Hang Seng Composite SmallCap Index with a market capitalization of HK$5 billion or above.
Preparations for the expansion of eligible stocks will take about three months, and the stock exchanges will announce the official launch date in due course, the statement said.
After the expansion, stocks to be included in the Stock Connect are expected to cover more than 80 percent of the trading volume of stocks in the mainland and Hong Kong markets respectively.
Hong Kong's Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu said it will further strengthen "the city's role as a bridge to connect investors in China and overseas", while Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po also said it will be helpful to "lure other high-quality international companies to be listed in the SAR”.
12月19日，为进一步深化内地与香港股票市场交易互联互通机制，中国证监会、香港证监会发布联合公告称，原则同意两地交易所进一步扩大股票互联互通标的范围。
公告明确，此次股票互联互通拟双向扩大标的范围，沪深股通的标的范围调整为：市值50亿人民币及以上且符合一定流动性标准等条件的上证A股指数/深证综合指数成份股，以及上海证券交易所/深圳证券交易所上市的A+H股公司的A股。港股通的标的范围调整为：在现行港股通股票标的基础上，纳入恒生综合指数内符合有关条件的在港主要上市外国公司股票，即属于恒生综合大型股指数、恒生综合中型股指数、市值50亿元港币及以上的恒生综合小型股指数成份股的在港主要上市外国公司，根据现行规定纳入港股通；将沪港通下港股通标的范围扩大至与深港通下港股通一致，即沪港通下港股通纳入市值50亿元港币及以上的恒生综合小型股指数成份股。
经中国证监会和香港证监会同意后，交易所可对标的纳入的具体条件、调整机制等作出规定。从本联合公告发布之日起至上述方案正式实施，需要3个月左右准备时间，正式实施时间将由交易所另行通知。
沪深交易所相关负责人当天均表示，此次标的范围扩大，是深化两地资本市场务实合作的又一有力举措，对促进两地市场协同发展具有积极意义，并将助力内地资本市场实现更高水平双向开放。沪深交易所将会同相关各方抓紧修改完善相关业务规则，完成标的扩容相关的业务和技术准备工作，以确保相关方案顺利落地实施。
有机构测算，这一变化下，预计按照指数成分和市值要求筛选的沪深股通（北向交易）合资格标的筛选范围从原有的1458只或增加至2516只，覆盖A股市场的数量比例由28.9%或提升到50.2%；港股通（南向交易）的标的范围，则共有6家公司可能符合纳入标准。沪港通下的港股通中，则预计目前在深港通下的167只标的也将符合沪港通下可交易范围。
