China has introduced new stimulus measures for the growth of index-based investment products to support the stock market amid an unstable economy. The Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) said it plans to increase the share of index investments in the capital market, strengthen their role in asset allocation and simplify access for medium and long-term funds. CSRC also seeks to attract foreign investment in yuan-denominated stocks through exchange-traded funds, as well as to develop ETFs focused on stocks and bonds. The regulator promises to reduce the costs of funds, including the abolition of fees for creating a market. The Chinese stock market is under pressure due to a slowdown in the economy and threats of higher tariffs from the United States. CSRC Chairman Wu Qing announced that mutual funds should increase investments in mainland stocks by 10% annually for three years, and insurance companies are required to send 30% of new contributions to stocks from 2025. In addition, the allocation of 52 billion yuan ($7.2 billion) for long-term equity investments of insurance companies was approved.
