China raises net capital requirements for futures companies

Xinhua, April 22, 2017 Adjust font size:

China's securities regulator will raise the net capital requirements for futures companies to 30 million yuan (about 4.36 million U.S. dollars) from 15 million yuan.

The raise aims to strengthen settlement risk prevention, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) said in a statement Friday.

Futures companies should provide more scientific and detailed data, set aside more capital to guard against risks, and will be under stricter oversight by regulators.
