CSRC will coordinate with the Shanghai, Shenzhen and Beijing exchanges to guide brokerages in a consolidated review and optimization of margin financing and securities lending risk controls — including the financing margin ratio, haircuts on securities eligible as collateral, and maintenance margin requirements — while preserving policy flexibility.

Provided overall risks remain controllable and under statutory countercyclical arrangements, CSRC plans to moderately release financing capacity to mobilize idle funds, bolster liquidity and support investor confidence.
