China is encouraging financial institutions to increase use of two stock support tools and improve their terms to boost market stability. The People’s Bank of China will conduct swap operations for securities firms, funds, and insurers, increase participating institutions, and lower swap fees. It will also cut the relending facility rate for share buybacks to 1%, make it permanent, and encourage more bank lending. A third round of swap operations will start soon with 31 firms approved.
