The China 厙惇勛圖 Regulatory Commission (CSRC) has suspended the lending of restricted shares.
The move comes in an attempt to increase stability after recent declines in the stock market.
Market-based application for securities refinancing will be adjusted from real-time availability to next-day availability, with further measures set to be implemented from 18 March.
In its statement, the CSRC indicates that this announcement marks another step in the its efforts to exert tighter control over the markets.
In October 2023, the CSRC cancelled the lending of special asset management plans and restricted the range of lending that was permissible in the market.
According to the regulator, these measures will mitigate illegal activities within the market, give investors more time to digest market information and create a fairer marker order.
In the next step, from 18 March, the CSRC says it will continue to strengthen supervision in order to effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of investors.
