18 On the evening of July, the CSRC released a message, and the CSRC approved China Financial Futures Exchange to conduct CSI 1000 stock index futures and options trading. Related contracts were officially listed and traded on July 22, 2022.

CICC subsequently issued a number of notices, announcing the formal contracts and related rules of CSI 1000 stock index futures and stock index options. It is worth noting that CSI 1000 stock index futures and stock index options entered the stage of soliciting opinions on the 22nd of last month, and will be officially listed after a lapse of 1 month. This progress has greatly exceeded market expectations, indicating that China's capital market reform has once again accelerated, and the construction of multi-level capital markets has thus reached a new level.

CSI 1000 stock index futures and stock index options will be the fourth stock index futures and the second stock index options launched by CIC, and the number of financial derivatives listed by CIC will also increase to nine.
