SHANGHAI :Chinese regulators said on Friday they will streamline the process of equity and bond issuance by companies hit by the pandemic, and urged brokerages and fund managers to channel more money into virus-hit areas and sectors.

Regulators will also allow companies to use electronic signatures when applying for securities issuance, and extend the deadline for addressing regulatory enquiries.
