China is playing an increasingly important role in the global capital market

*********************************************************************************

With its increasing economic size and prospering stock market, China is playing an increasingly important role in the global capital market, Andrew Sheng, chairman of Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) said Thursday.

Sheng made the remarks at a conference on HK-listed mainland companies hosted by the Hong Kong Exchange and Clearing Limited (HKEx).

The capital value of the Chinese mainland's stock market ranked 11th in the world by the end of 2000. Combined with HK's stock market value, China's stock market capitalization ranked sixth worldwide. Mainland firms accounted for 74 percent of the total funds raised through the HKEx in 2000, according to SFC.

Sheng pointed out that the development of the mainland has greatly benefited Hong Kong, while the latter has become an important financing center for the mainland, thanks to its tested institutions and legal system, world-class professionals, rich experience and its status as an international financial center.

Sheng noted that China's capital market now runs on two rails, one is the international rail represented by HK, and the other the domestic rail represented by the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges. The two rails will be connected when the Renminbi yuan becomes freely convertible, he added.
