CITIC Securities, CICC, Guotai Jun’an, Haitong Securitise and Huatai Securities all recently released statements announcing their support for the spirit of the 20th National CCP Congress, with a commitment to “working hard to service the real economy and tech innovation.”
According to the statements, the brokerages will “effectively employ the central role of securities companies in connecting the real economy with capital markets, and guiding more social capital towards areas including tech innovation, the security of industrial supply chains, green development and micro, small and medium-sized businesses.”
