Shanghai Stock Exchange Successfully Concludes International Roadshow Targeting Southeast Asian Markets

Since May, Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) has successfully hosted 4 thematic international roadshow events titled "Focus on SSE – Southeast Asian Markets". These events covered a wide range of topics, including insights into the 2024 business performance of companies listed on the Shanghai market, the evolving ecosystem of index investing in the Shanghai market, recent developments of the STAR Market and interpretation of the "1+6" reform policies, as well as progress in the SSE bond and derivatives markets. The roadshows offered a comprehensive view of the development potential and investment opportunities in China's capital markets. In total, the 4 events attracted participation from over 100 investment institutions across Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam.

The series of events also featured dedicated company engagement sessions, where several companies listed on the Shanghai market—including China Mobile, China Unicom, SAIC Motor, GAC Group, Hengrui Pharmaceuticals, Kingsoft Office, and Biokin Pharmaceutical—interacted directly with Southeast Asian investors. These sessions spanned multiple emerging industries such as information technology, advanced manufacturing, and biopharmaceuticals. Participating companies provided in-depth presentations on industry trends, business performance, development strategies, overseas revenue streams, and medium- to long-term global expansion plans. During the discussions, Southeast Asian investors showed strong interest in areas such as AI infrastructure, cloud computing, autonomous driving, and pharmaceutical R&D. They engaged in detailed exchanges with the companies on topics including the practical application of large language models, strategies for introducing smart terminal partners, clinical research progress, and the approval processes for innovative drugs.

In recent years, Southeast Asian investors have shown growing interest in the Chinese market, with increasing enthusiasm for investment opportunities. The SSE organized this series of roadshows with the aim of deepening engagement with Southeast Asian capital markets, enhancing investors' understanding of the SSE market, and promoting the investment value of companies listed on the Shanghai market. The initiative also seeks to attract more long-term international capital to the Chinese market. Looking ahead, the SSE will continue to strengthen the appeal of its market, provide high-quality services to international investors, and fully demonstrate China's firm commitment to capital market openness. By doing so, the SSE aims to enable global investors to better share in the opportunities brought by China's innovation-driven development.
