The Beijing municipal government had lobbied for years to upgrade the National Equities Exchange and Quotations (NEEQ) exchange (nicknamed "The New Third Board" (新三板)) to act as a home for US-listed Chinese firms.[3]
On 2 September 2021, General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party Xi Jinping announced the establishment of the Beijing Stock Exchange (BSE).[1][2] The purpose was to help serve small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in China.[1][2]
This was accomplished by reforming the NEEQ exchange and establishing up the BSE as the primary platform for SMEs.[2] As of 2020, the NEEQ exchange had almost 6,000 companies listed, with most of them being SMEs.[1]
On 3 September 2021, Beijing Stock Exchange Co., Ltd. completed its business registration as a company. The registration information showed that NEEQ was the sole shareholder, making it the owner of the BSE. The registered capital was RMB 1 billion, and the registered address was the same as NEEQ's.[1]
On 17 September 2021, the BSE issued guidelines on the qualifying criteria for investors.[1][4]
On 30 October 2021, the China Securities Regulatory Commission published rules for the exchange regarding initial public offerings (IPO), refinancing, and supervision.[5]
On 15 November 2021, trading on the BSE commenced.[6][7] 81 companies debuted trading on the exchange that day: 71 were transferred from the "Select tier" of the NEEQ exchange, while the remaining 10 held their trading debuts.[6][7][8]
