BEIJING: Amid stable operations of the Beijing Stock Exchange (BSE), overseas investors have sped up their mapping in this new bourse, which is set to nurture more technologically advanced small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

HSBC has facilitated a transaction on the BSE placed by an offshore investor via the qualified foreign institutional investor scheme, making it the first international custodian to facilitate such a trade on the bourse.
