Chinese government steps up effort to save market

Global Business

After the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges closed down again for a fifth straight trading day, China has announced more steps to re-energize its sagging markets and slowing economy.

CCTV’s Roee Ruttenberg filed this report.

More details:

  • Chinese companies which lease things like ships, planes, farm equipment and medical supplies will be able to register their businesses more easily and import and export goods more simply. Authorities also said they’ll create more financial leasing firms to deal with the uptick in demand.
  • In a separate action, the country’s central bank would pump an additional 140 billion yuan, roughly 22 billion dollars into the financial system, which is another move to promote economic activity. The aim is to help ensure China stays on track to meet its 7 percent growth target this year. The moves failed to calm China’s jittery markets.
