Greenland Group has just been given approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission to list on China's A-share market, heralding a new historical chapter for the global property giant.
Once successfully listed, Greenland will be the largest Shanghai state-owned property enterprise on the A-share market.
Earlier this week, Greenland's parent company, Shanghai Jinfeng Investment Company, announced the commission had approved a significant assets swap and new share issuance for the property company - a decisive step towards Greenland's future listing.
The news demonstrates reform of state-owned enterprises by Shanghai Municipal Government's State-owned Assets Supervisions and Administration Commission is afoot.
Following the announcement, Jinfeng Investment's share price jumped 37 per cent achieving its highest trading price of 26.35 per share.
President and Chairman of Greenland Holding Group Company Ltd Yuliang Zhang said, "Greenland's rapid development is a result of continual innovation and an ability to grasp every precious opportunity at each stage."ALSO SEE:
