Chen Huaping, the Vice Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), has announced plans to foster the high-quality development of the capital market, strengthen the foundation for investor protection, and swiftly implement a comprehensive package of policy measures aimed at deepening the reforms of the Science and Technology Innovation Board (STAR Market) and the ChiNext Board. These measures are intended to bolster institutional inclusivity, bolster technological innovation, and augment the influx of medium- and long-term funds into the market. The 2024 annual report reveals that among the more than 5,400 listed companies, nearly 70% declared dividends amounting to a total of 2.39 trillion yuan. The CSRC will persist in guiding listed companies to reward investors through cash dividends, share buybacks, and other mechanisms, thereby enhancing investors' sense of gain.
