China to further attract foreign stock market capital

China will further create conditions to attract more foreign capital into the A-share market, an official said on April 19.

The scale of foreign capital has been increasing in China's stock market since 2018, said Fang Xinghai, vice-chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC). Fang made the observations at a sub-forum of the Boao Forum for Asia annual conference.

"As more foreign capital flows into the Chinese market, it will have a rising role in market pricing," Fang said.

The CSRC will further create conditions to enhance the inclusion of A-shares in major global indexes to attract more foreign capital, Fang added.
