CITIC Securities has released a report suggesting that equity finance will play a larger role in supporting local government finances as land-based revenue declines. The report proposes that local governments can leverage their advantages in the primary market through investment funds to achieve long-term capital appreciation. In the secondary market, dividends from central and state-owned enterprises and market revaluation are seen as key drivers for immediate gains. The report emphasizes that a significant increase in equity market capitalization is necessary for equity finance to be more effective, drawing parallels with international experiences. Meanwhile, Hanmi Semiconductor is planning to build its eighth and largest production facility to address an anticipated shortage of AI semiconductor equipment starting next year, with demand expected to outstrip supply.
