A new round of mergers and acquisitions in the securities industry is about to emerge

On April 3rd, it was reported that "several major shareholders of securities firms are planning to change recently, and a new wave of mergers and acquisitions in the securities industry may be coming." A veteran of the securities industry who has been working for more than ten years recently said. Industry insiders have stated that in the past five years, there have been at least one mergers and acquisitions in the same industry each year. After the China Securities Regulatory Commission encouraged mergers and acquisitions three times in history, the number of mergers and acquisitions in that year and the following year has increased. 2024 may be an important window period for the securities industry to launch a new round of mergers and acquisitions. Under the policy guidance of "accelerating the construction of first-class investment banks and institutions", mergers and acquisitions are expected to become an important lever for optimizing resource allocation and helping to improve quality and efficiency in the securities industry. In addition to actively nurturing the policy environment, Luo Zhunhui, Chief Analyst of Shenwan Hongyuan Non Bank, believes that the internal environment for the securities industry to trigger a wave of mergers and acquisitions is also basically in place.
