中国人民大学国家金融研究院院长吴晓求：下一步资本市场应做好资产端、投资端、制度端三重改革

Core Viewpoint - The Chinese capital market has undergone fundamental changes over the past year, particularly since September 24, 2024, with a gradual recovery in market confidence and stabilization of expectations. The next steps involve reforms in three areas: asset side, investment side, and institutional side [1]. Group 1: Asset Side Reform - The goal of asset side reform is to adjust the structure of listed companies, promoting a shift towards high-tech and innovative enterprises to enhance the risk-return capability of the market and optimize the asset structure [1]. Group 2: Investment Side Reform - Investment side reform aims to relax institutional constraints on long-term funds such as insurance, social security, and pension funds entering the market, thereby expanding market liquidity. The revision of rules is intended to guide more long-term institutional funds to enter the market in an orderly and large-scale manner, maintaining a healthy liquidity state [1]. Group 3: Institutional Side Reform - Institutional reform is highlighted as the most critical task, with the core objective being to ensure market transparency, which is deemed the lifeline of the capital market. Various measures will be taken to ensure that issuers disclose information truthfully. The fundamental goal of the reform is to eliminate risks associated with fraudulent listings, financial fraud, false disclosures, and insider trading. Severe penalties will be imposed on all "risk creators" and those who assist them, transitioning from administrative penalties to criminal and civil liabilities. Additionally, intermediary institutions will face equivalent severe penalties [1]. Group 4: Foundations of Capital Market Development - The development of the capital market is supported by three key foundations: a sound legal system, a high degree of contractual spirit, and market transparency. A sound legal system stabilizes market expectations and promotes capital flow, while the contractual spirit is essential for maintaining financial order. Transparency is considered the lifeline of the capital market, with regulatory functions focusing on transparency oversight to ensure all participants, especially listed companies and intermediary institutions, disclose information truthfully [2].
