History and Events

The initial public offering (IPO) activity in Shenzhen stock exchange was suspended from September 2000 as the Chinese government pondered merging its bourses into a single exchange in Shanghai and launch a Nasdaq-style second board in Shenzhen aimed at private and technology companies.

The central government shut down trade on the Shenzhen and Shanghai Stock Exchanges for over a week from May 1, 2003 to fight against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
