IPO consent rate rises as tighter rules implemented

THE approval rate for initial public offerings has risen 64.2 percent so far this month from a year ago amid the imposition of stricter regulations since 2017, the securities regulator said yesterday.

By Tuesday, 104 companies were reviewed by the China Securities Regulatory Commis­sion’s regulatory body, with 52 applications approved and 38 rejected to give an approval rate of 50 percent.

The CSRC said late on Tuesday that it has approved the IPO of Bank of Zhengzhou, making it the first Hong Kong-listed com­pany to return to the A-share market, as well as that of Huide Science & Technology.

But Fujian Minhua Power Source was rejected by the CSRC from going public on the A-share market.

Meanwhile, on the same day China Master Logistics canceled its IPO review as further audit or verification is required, and Zhejiang Titan voluntarily with­drew its application.

The approval rate in April was 57.9 percent and the rate in­crease indicated a rising trend for IPO approvals. But the 64.2 percent approval rate fell from 84 percent in the same period last year as regulations on IPOs were tightened with the set up of the Issuance Examination Commission under the CSRC in September 2017.
