China's CSRC Directs Mutual Funds, Insurers to Boost Stock Market with 100 Billion Yuan in 2025
Jan 23, 2025, 02:07 AM
China has introduced a comprehensive plan to bolster its stock market by directing long-term funds into equities. The initiative, announced by CSRC Chairman Wu Qing, requires mutual funds to increase their holdings of onshore stocks by at least 10% annually over the next three years. Additionally, starting in 2025, large state-owned insurers are mandated to allocate 30% of their new annual premiums to A-share investments. The plan also includes the launch of a second phase of a pilot program in the first half of 2025, which will see insurance funds invest at least 100 billion yuan ($13.7 billion) in long-term stock holdings. These measures aim to stabilize the market and attract more long-term capital, with the expectation of injecting hundreds of billions of yuan into the market annually.
