[The People's Bank of China, the National Financial Regulatory Administration, and the China Securities Regulatory Commission hold a symposium on tools supporting the capital market]
The People's Bank of China, the National Financial Regulatory Administration, and the China Securities Regulatory Commission held a symposium on tools supporting the capital market. The meeting stated that, to maintain capital market stability and enhance market resilience and confidence, the authorities will continue to strengthen policy support, further optimize policy elements and implementation details, and encourage financial institutions to make full use of the policy tools. They will conduct Securities, Fund and Insurance Company Swap Facility operations at an appropriate time, further increase the number of participating institutions, appropriately reduce swap fees, and optimize collateral and operational arrangements. The stock repurchase and increased-holdings relending policy will be converted from a temporary arrangement into a long-term institutional arrangement, with the relending rate reduced from 1.25%to 1%; financial institutions will adhere to market-based pricing principles, reasonably add a spread to the relending rate, and increase lending.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
The meeting discussed types of tools supporting the capital market: one is the Securities, Fund and Insurance Company Swap Facility, used by securities firms, fund companies, and insurance companies, with plans to expand participation, reduce fees, and optimize operations; the other is relending to support stock repurchases and increased holdings, which will become a long-term arrangement and whose rate has also been lowered.
