Listed firms may be allowed to sell shares

  The country's regulators will consider allowing listed firms to sell shares as a first step toward lifting its suspension on new IPOs in domestic markets, but no timetable has been set, domestic media reported Monday.

  China is proceeding1 with a series of market reforms aimed at reviving its shares markets, which remain mired2 in a four-year slump3.

  In mid-2005, China suspended new IPOs in domestic markets in an effort to prop4 up sagging5 stock prices, weighed down by investor6 concerns over the share-reform plan to sell more than US$250 billion in State-held shares.

  "We will look at allowing listed companies to sell shares before approving any new IPOs," the Financial News quoted Shang Fulin, the top securities regulator, as saying at a conference.

  Reforms in state-held shares need to be built upon solid capital markets, said Shang, adding that the last mile of reforms would be the most difficult.

  Last month, China scrapped7 capital gains taxes for foreign stock investors8.

  The government is intensifying9 efforts to lure10 foreign cash into its main stock market, via a Qualified11 Foreign Institutional Investor (QFII) scheme that lets overseas firms invest in primary stock and debt markets.

  The index was Asia's worst performing major market benchmark stock index in both 2005 and 2004.

  While trying to reform inefficient12 capital markets to give domestic firms another fund-raising option besides banks, China is also trying to enhance corporate13 transparency and boost profitability.

  Shang's comments come after a leading economic official said Saturday that efforts to revive its sickly stock markets are likely to work only if "poor quality" listed companies are eliminated from trading.

  "Raising the quality of China's listed companies is the only permanent cure that can ensure public investors' fundamental interests," said Cheng Siwei, a vice14 chairman of the Standing15 Committee of the National People's Congress.
