Shanghai hopes to launch the long-awaited international board
for foreign companies to list shares next year, although an exact
timetable has yet to be fixed, Fang Xinghai, director-general of
the city government's Office of Financial Services, said
Wednesday.
"There's a lot of internal coordination between departments that
has to happen," Fang told Dow Jones Newswires on the sidelines of a
financial forum. He didn't elaborate.
The plan to launch the international board on the Shanghai Stock
Exchange, part of China's broader agenda to make its currency more
globalized by allowing foreign firms to issue shares denominated in
the yuan, is also a key element of Shanghai's blueprint to turn
itself into a global financial hub by 2020.
Foreign firms such as HSBC Holdings PLC (HBC) and NYSE Euronext
(NYX) have expressed interest in being among the first batch of
companies to list on the new board.
Fang told the forum earlier that the approval process for
international board listings is expected to be speedier and more
simplified than the typically long and cumbersome procedures for
China's domestic listings.
