The capital market highly depends on legal construction, as strengthened legal construction contributes to building a booming market. Building a law-ruled capital market is a realistic requirement for implementing the principle of ruling the country according to laws, an inevitable way for building a mature capital market, and a key breakthrough point for propelling a new round of reform in the capital market.
We should improve the legislation work, cement the law enforcement, boost the judicial justice, and strictly abide by laws for the construction of the law-ruled capital market. Since last year, the construction of the law-ruled capital market has seen an array of new progresses; the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress successively included the revision of the “Securities Law” into the 5-year legislation plan and the 2014 legislation plan of the National People’s Congress, with the relevant revision work being carried out as well; securities regulatory organs vigorously propelled streamlined administration and decentralized power, actively explored in regulatory transformation, and intensified regulatory law enforcement; judicial organs continuously optimized the judicial environment for the capital market and escorted for the market growth.
The new situation of strengthening the all-round reform and the new background of vigorously propelling the campaign of ruling the country according to laws both put forward new tasks and requirements for building the law-ruled capital market. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE), Peking University, Renmin University of China, and East China University of Political Science and Law will hold the 5th SSE Legal Forum, in a bid to fuel studies on the legal construction of the capital market and solicit pertinent policies and suggestions.
