On Thursday, the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges announced they would be examining measures to reduce investor’s trading costs and improve liquidity in an effort to stimulate the market further.

The measures being considered include letting investors place smaller orders in auction trading and making improvements on trading mechanisms for exchange-traded-funds (ETFs). The exchanges are also looking to make changes to rules which will allow faster development of index funds.

The announcements were made as Beijing is struggling to revive sagging economic growth, with top Chinese leaders vowing to “invigorate capital markets and boost investor confidence” during their politburo meeting in July. To that end, Chinese securities regulators have been pressuring mutual fund managers to reduce fees to cut trading costs for customers.

In identical statements on Thursday, the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges said that they will “roll out a series of measures to stimulate market vigor, lubricate trading, and increase market appeal.”

Among those changes, would be one which would allow investors to place orders for stocks in quantities of as little as one share or one unit, instead of the current rule, which requires each order be placed in blocks of 100 shares or units.

The bourses said that the change would enable more efficient use of capital, improve market liquidity, and reduce the costs to investors.

The bourses also said that to reduce the fluctuations in prices they would examine after-hours fixed price trading mechanisms for ETFs.

They also promised to release their trading rules in an English version in an effort to increase transparency, and would “balance smooth trading and regulating excessive speculation.”
