Foreign-funded institutions are also optimistic about China's economic development and the A-share market, actively deploying Chinese assets, and market valuations will also be higher. tend to be rational.

In this context, the registration system will optimize the listing threshold for companies in different industries, different development stages, and different development models, so that more high-quality companies can be recognized by the market, provide investors with more and better targets for wealth management, and increase capital. The market serves the efficiency and results of the development of the real economy.

　　Regarding the impact of the comprehensive registration system on A-shares, Xun Yugen, chief economist of Haitong Securities, said that on the one hand, the comprehensive registration system is conducive to improving the structure of the A-share industry.

Under the comprehensive registration system, more and more emerging industry companies are expected to be listed on the A-share market, and the proportion of "new economy" in the market will further increase, which in turn will help China's industrial transformation and upgrading trend.

　　On the other hand, after the implementation of the comprehensive registration system, A-share valuation and transaction structure may further diverge.

In the past, companies with small market capitalization also had considerable "shell value". The registration system greatly compressed the "shell value", thereby further strengthening the connection between the stock price performance of listed companies and the fundamentals.

　　Dong Dengxin, director of the Finance and Securities Research Institute of Wuhan University of Science and Technology, told reporters from China News Agency that after the full implementation of the registration system, China's economic transformation and industrial upgrading will go further.

High-tech companies with strong R&D and innovation capabilities will be more sought after, which will lead more companies to move in the direction of R&D and innovation.

At the same time, the number of delisted companies will further increase, and a large number of "junk stocks", "shell companies" and "zombie companies" will withdraw from the market, giving way to high-quality companies that truly represent the direction of the industry with effective and scarce listing resources.

It is foreseeable that after the full implementation of the registration system reform, China's capital market will continue to deepen reform around the direction of marketization, rule of law, and internationalization, so as to better serve the high-quality development of the real economy.
