Listed companies cagey about data disclosure  

報告稱中國上市公司披露信息動力不足

北京師范大學公司治理與企業發展研究中心9日在京發布《中國上市公司信息披露指數（2012）》報告稱，中國大部分上市公司僅滿足于監管部門的強制性信息披露要求，自愿披露信息的動力嚴重不足。

Beijing (CNS) -- Listed companies in China are mostly unwilling to disclose information about their operations, according to a report released Sunday.

Although there is a high rate of disclosure among listed companies, most of them only release data when required by regulators, the report said.

Financial and insurance companies have a higher information disclosure rate, as do better performing companies and those with more recent listings, the report found.

Companies listed both in the mainland and Hong Kong have a higher information disclosure rate than those only listed in the mainland, it said.

Published by the Research Center for Corporate Governance and Enterprise Development of Beijing Normal University, the Information Disclosure Indexes of Listed Companies in China (2012) assessed a total of 2,033 listed companies.
