On September 14, the Information Office of the State Council held a policy routine briefing to introduce the work relating to strengthening the management of repayment difficulties for small and medium-sized enterprises. Guo Ruiming, director of the China Securities Regulatory Commission's listed company supervision department, said that by the end of April this year, more than 100 listed companies in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets had disclosed information on equal treatment of small and medium-sized enterprises as required. At the same time, he was also concerned that a considerable number of listed companies are small and medium-sized enterprises and are also facing repayment problems. Guo Ruiming said that in the next step, the Securities Regulatory Commission will “take both hands”. On the one hand, it will refine disclosure requirements to guide listed companies to reduce account periods and make timely payments to small and medium-sized enterprises; on the other hand, it will step up efforts to visit listed companies to help listed SMEs solve repayment problems and ease cash flow pressure.
