SSE reviewing 1st batch of SME private placement bonds  

上海證券交易所首批中小企業私募債券發行在即

上海證券交易所7日正式受理7家中小企業關于申請發行私募債券的備案材料，目前上述材料的完備性核對工作正在緊張進行中。此舉意味著首批中小企業私募債券的發行指日可待。

Shanghai (CNS) -- The Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) on Thursday officially started a review process for private placement bond applications submitted by seven small and mid-sized enterprises.

The seven applicants represent various industries including cultural media, hi-tech, and manufacturing companies, and their issue limits vary from 20 to 100 million yuan (US$ 3.14 to 15.7 million).

This is yet another effort to solve difficulties faced by SMEs engaged in financing themselves.

The SSE does not judge or guarantee the credibility of the issuers or absorb risks associated with their financial products, however.

The exchange claims simply to broaden the stock and bond service range for SMEs as well as other micro and private business units.
