Core Viewpoint - The release of the "Opinions on Supporting the Acceleration of Building Shanghai International Financial Center" and the "Action Plan for the Construction of Shanghai International Financial Center" optimizes market infrastructure, reduces transaction costs, and enhances market liquidity and resilience, providing substantial support to the securities and futures sectors, benefiting multiple non-bank segments [1]. Summary by Sections Policy Framework - On June 18, the Central Financial Committee issued the "Opinions on Supporting the Acceleration of Building Shanghai International Financial Center," followed by the State Financial Supervision Administration and Shanghai Municipal Government's "Action Plan." The "Opinions" outline a comprehensive blueprint for the next 5 to 10 years to enhance Shanghai's financial center capabilities, while the "Action Plan" details specific support measures from a local implementation perspective [2]. - The "Opinions" propose six core measures: deepening financial market construction, enhancing financial institution capabilities, improving financial infrastructure, expanding high-level financial openness, improving service quality for the real economy, and effectively maintaining financial security under open conditions. The "Action Plan" complements this by focusing on financial institution aggregation, implementing service measures for the real economy, expanding institutional openness, enhancing regulatory standards, and improving policy support [2]. Market Impact - The joint release of the "Opinions" and "Action Plan" signals that building Shanghai as an international financial center has become a national strategic priority. This alignment provides clear direction for financial institutions and market participants, significantly boosting market expectations. Various measures will gradually relax market access, increase openness, and foster innovation, which will attract capital inflows and enhance trading activity [3]. - Over the long term, the construction over the next 5 to 10 years is expected to elevate Shanghai's international capital market influence and risk pricing capabilities [3]. Sector Benefits - The policy benefits multiple non-bank sectors by deepening financial market construction and expanding high-level financial openness, directly creating new business opportunities for non-bank institutions. Securities firms will benefit from accelerated listings of "hard tech" companies on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board, increased demand for mergers and acquisitions, and cross-border financing services driven by offshore finance [4]. - Insurance institutions will focus on building Shanghai as an international reinsurance center and pilot projects for pension finance, enhancing the asset management capabilities and risk pricing advantages of leading insurance companies [4]. - Futures companies will benefit from the policy support for building a world-class trading platform at the Shanghai Futures Exchange, with the listing of internationalized products such as gold and shipping driving trading volume and commission growth [4].
