More than 80% of BSE-listed firms are SMEs

SMALL and medium enterprises (SMEs) make up more than 80 percent of the companies listed on the Beijing Stock Exchange (BSE), as the bourse focused on advancing inclusive financing over the past three years to provide a new channel for a variety of companies to access the capital market, a BSE official told the Global Times on Monday.

To date, the BSE, together with the National Equities Exchange and Quotations, a national equity trading venue operating in tandem with the BSE, have listed nearly 600 county-level enterprises and more than 200 enterprises from mainly ethnic minority areas, playing an important role in driving the national economic transformation, the industrial upgrading and supporting the job market, the official said.
