Recently, the China Securities Regulatory Commission announced a package of measures to stabilize the market and expectations, organizing the implementation of the third batch of securities, fund, and insurance company swap facility (SFISF) operations.

Guolian Minsheng Securities Company Limited (ASX: 601456) actively responded to the call, participating immediately and successfully winning the bid once again.

As a medium-to-large securities firm, successfully participating for a second consecutive time demonstrates the company's determination and perseverance in firmly supporting stability maintenance.

The swap facility is an innovative monetary policy tool created by the People's Bank of China in conjunction with the China Securities Regulatory Commission, designed to support eligible securities, fund, and insurance companies in using assets such as bonds, stock ETFs, and CSI 300 constituent stocks as collateral to exchange for highly liquid assets like government bonds and central bank bills, thereby enhancing institutional financing capacity and strengthening market stability.

As an important source of long-term capital and a stabilizing force in the capital market, the implementation of the swap facility is of great significance for guiding medium-to-long-term capital into the market, smoothing market fluctuations, and boosting investor confidence.

With policy guidance and strong support from regulatory authorities, Guolian Minsheng Securities Company Limited (ASX: 601456) obtained qualification for the swap facility business on December 31, 2024.

In January 2025, the company successfully completed its first transaction, stabilizing market expectations through concrete action and achieving a positive effect.

Leveraging its prior mechanism-building and practical experience, the company achieved an efficient response in this batch of swap facility operations.

Next, the company will make full and effective use of the swap facility tool, directing the funds obtained primarily toward investment and market-making in stocks and stock ETFs.

This arrangement is both an active implementation of policy guidance and a means of providing more ample liquidity support to the capital market, helping to stabilize market expectations and enhance market resilience.

As a state-owned financial enterprise, Guolian Minsheng Securities Company Limited (ASX: 601456) has always regarded serving the smooth operation of the capital market and the high-quality development of the real economy as its important mission.

The company will coordinate the use of various capital market policy tools, demonstrating through concrete action the responsibility of a state-owned financial enterprise in serving capital market stability, acting as a steadfast defender of capital market stability and a strong promoter of high-quality development in the real economy.
