The Beijing municipal government had lobbied for years to upgrade the National Equities Exchange and Quotations (NEEQ) exchange (nicknamed "The New Third Board" (新三板)) to act as a home for US-listed Chinese firms.[5]
On 2 September 2021, China's leader, Xi Jinping announced the establishment of the Beijing Stock Exchange.[1][4] The purpose was to help serve small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in China.[1][4]
This was done by reforming the NEEQ exchange and setting up the Beijing Stock Exchange as the primary platform for SMEs.[4] As of 2020, the NEEQ exchange had almost 6,000 companies listed with most of them being SMEs.[1]
On 3 September 2021, Beijing Stock Exchange Co., Ltd. completed its business registration as a company. The registration information showed the sole shareholder was NEEQ making it the owner of the Beijing Stock Exchange. The registered capital of the company was RMB 1 billion and the registered address was the same as NEEQ's one.[1]
On 17 September 2021, the Beijing Stock Exchange issued guidelines on the qualifying criteria for investors.[1][6]
On 30 October 2021, the China Securities Regulatory Commission published rules for the exchange regarding initial public offerings (IPO), refinancing and supervision.[7]
On 15 November 2021, trading on the Beijing Stock Exchange commenced.[8][9] 81 companies debuted trading on the exchange that day. 71 of them were transferred from the "Select tier" of the NEEQ Exchange. The remaining 10 companies held their trading debuts.[8][9][10]
