The Shenzhen Stock Exchange, founded in 1990, is China's second major exchange and specialises in listing smaller, more growth-oriented companies. It operates the ChiNext board for innovative tech companies and the SME board. SZSE is known for its focus on technology, manufacturing, and consumer companies.
The Shanghai Stock Exchange, re-established in 1990, is one of the world's largest exchanges by market capitalisation. It lists thousands of Chinese companies including many large state-owned enterprises. The SSE operates the SSE Composite and SSE 50 indices and is a primary venue for A-share and B-share trading.
The Beijing Stock Exchange was established in 2021 as China's newest exchange, focused on SMEs and innovation-driven companies. It provides a direct financing channel for smaller enterprises and is designed to complement the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges. The BSE supports China's strategy of nurturing specialised, innovative smaller companies.
