The Impact of Multi-Level Capital Markets on The Business Transformation of Small and Medium-Sized Investment Banks Under the Beijing Stock Exchange Policy

Abstract

The Beijing Stock Exchange (BSE) was incorporated on 3 September 2021 as the first corporate stock exchange in China, approved by the State Council and supervised by the China Securities Regulatory Commission. The BSE is designed to serve innovative small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially the "specialized and new" small giants, and to develop and interconnect with the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges and regional equity markets to form an institutional arrangement that suits the characteristics of SMEs and to explore the path of financial inclusion through capital market support for technological innovation of SMEs. Building a multi-level capital market so as to better serve the real economy is an important goal in the construction of China's capital market, and the establishment of the BSE is an important milestone. In the future, how small and medium-sized brokerage firms will make use of the policy opening brought by the BSE to strengthen the expansion of the corresponding business segments has become a key research direction. This paper will focus on the construction of China's multi-level capital market, compare it with the establishment of the US capital market, study the development path of China's capital market, and thus analyse the transformation path of Chinese small and medium-sized brokerage firms to seize the opportunities of the times.
