The initiative will further enhance the Stock Connect arrangements, make available more trading mechanisms, improve trading efficiency and promote the mutual development of both capital markets, the announcement said. The CSRC and the SFC will supervise the respective exchanges and clearing houses on both sides in studying the business, technical and regulatory arrangements to introduce block trading, conduct market consultation and develop an implementation proposal.
