  On the other hand, it will help the reform of the capital market to enter the “deep water area” firmly and smoothly, and cooperate with supporting measures such as building a multi-level capital market, expanding opening up, and improving the investor protection mechanism, which will ultimately help promote the sustainable and healthy development of the market. The investor structure has been continuously improved, the market has gradually become stable and rational, and the misallocation of resources and value misvaluation in shell companies has been compressed, and the vitality and power of the capital market have been released on a deeper level.

  Tian Lihui, dean of Nankai University's Financial Development Research Institute, said that if the reform of the comprehensive registration system can be taken as the leader to boost the supply-side reform of the capital market, it will have a comprehensive system benefit for the market.

The reform of the registration system will inevitably lead to an increase in the number of listed companies. To prevent the occurrence of a mixed situation, it is necessary to resolutely implement the main responsibility of market intermediaries and effectively improve the quality of supervision.

  At present, the number of investors in the A-share market has exceeded 200 million.

Whether the legitimate rights and interests of the majority of small and medium investors can be well protected is a key criterion for measuring the success of the registration system reform.

  The CSRC also pointed out that it is necessary to further promote high-level opening to the outside world, such as strengthening the pragmatic cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong capital markets; striving to reach an agreement on audit supervision cooperation between China and the United States as soon as possible; speeding up the implementation of new regulations on the supervision of overseas listing of enterprises.

  Pang Ming said that continuing to firmly promote a higher level of opening to the outside world, and promoting the two-way opening of the capital market from the channel type to the comprehensive market interconnection, is conducive to building a standardized, transparent, open, dynamic and resilient multi-level capital market. system, guide more medium and long-term capital, domestic capital and foreign capital to enter the domestic market and participate in China's financial reform and opening up, give full play to the role and function of the domestic capital market in equity financing, price discovery and risk management, and promote the structural reform of the domestic financial supply side.

  He also mentioned that while attracting foreign capital to seize the development opportunity to "come in" to invest in China's real economy and financial market, it can also encourage China's real economy, high-quality enterprises and financial industry to improve their ability to "go out" to participate in international market competition, use Good overseas financial resources.
