On September 8, HKEX China Opportunity Forum 2026 was held in Shanghai. Zhang Bin, director of the International Cooperation Department of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, said at the forum that the Chinese market has become a necessary option for international capital allocation. The Shanghai Stock Exchange will provide more flexible, targeted and differentiated measures to encourage long-term capital to enter the market, promote the improvement of a policy environment more conducive to medium- and long-term capital entry, and enhance promotion and communication with overseas sovereign funds and long-term capital. Zhang Bin said that in the future, under the overall guidance of the two local securities regulators, the Shanghai Stock Exchange will further promote the integration of REITs products into the interconnection mechanism on the basis that already covers products such as stocks and ETFs; at the same time, actively promote the integration of RMB stock trading counters into the interconnection mechanism; in addition, actively listen to opinions and suggestions from international investors and explore more optimization measures in terms of trading mechanisms, scope of targets, and investor thresholds to meet the needs and demands of global investors in allocating the Chinese market.
