Listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen have disclosed over 1,900 asset restructuring projects during the year, which is 1.3 times the number from the same period last year.

Since the beginning of this year, driven by the dual forces of policy dividends and rising demand for industrial upgrading, the mergers and acquisitions market has continued to heat up. According to statistics, as of December 25th, more than 1,900 asset restructuring projects have been disclosed by companies listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges, which is 1.3 times the number from the same period last year; among them, there were over 200 major asset restructuring projects, 1.4 times the number from the same period last year. At the same time, mergers and acquisitions this year are still mainly focused on industrial integration, with an increase in acquisitions of technology companies, accelerated approval processes, diversification of payment methods, and frequent benchmark cases. Mergers and acquisitions have become an important means to optimize resource allocation, promote industrial upgrading, and facilitate the development of new productive forces. Tian Xuan, the dean of the National Institute of Finance at Tsinghua University, stated in an interview with reporters that the mergers and acquisitions market this year has seen a simultaneous increase in transaction size and quality, significant improvements in approval efficiency, continuous breakthroughs in institutional innovation, and the successful implementation of several benchmark cases which fully highlight the effectiveness of reforms. This not only enhances the efficiency of capital market resource allocation but also effectively promotes structural reforms in the real economy.
