A new board for strategic emerging industries, planned by the Shanghai Stock Exchange, has been called into question.
Media reports say the Chinese government is set to remove the board from the 13th Five-Year Plan.
But the news has not been confirmed at this point.
Shanghai Stock Exchange denied few days ago that there was a delay in its plans for the strategic emerging industries board, which had been intended to list promising but not yet profitable companies.
Analysts speculate that the reason behind the delay is a hold-up in the implementation of a new stock registration system that was planned as the basis of the new board.
The China Securities Regulatory Commission says it's still studying the registration system, and that means the emerging industries board is held up as well.
