Part 6/12:
Alongside this announcement, the National Financial Regulatory Administration revealed plans for a second set of long-term stock investment pilots for insurance funds, initially approving 50 billion yen for investment, with hopes to reach 100 billion yen. Various measures, such as promoting more equity-focused mutual fund products and allowing institutional investors to participate in share placements, are part of these efforts. Nevertheless, the response from the stock markets has been tepid; key indices, including the CSI 300 and H-shares, have recorded declines following renewed tariff threat comments from U.S. President Donald Trump.
