Core Viewpoint - The China Securities Association has issued a notice to brokerages, acknowledging the positive outcomes of the 2025 industry stress tests while highlighting existing issues such as "form over substance" and insufficient coverage of complex business risks. The notice outlines further guidelines to enhance the effectiveness and accuracy of stress testing in five key areas [1][2].
