Hedging risks with innovative derivatives

THERE is ample room for further development of new futures products to be innovative to help companies hedge against risks, Xiao Gang, chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, said yesterday.

“After more than 20 years, China’s futures market has achieved market scale, product innovation, a legal system and international influence,” Xiao said in a keynote speech at the 10th China (Shenzhen) International Derivatives Forum.

“There is still huge room for further development,” Xiao added.

Companies see futures products and derivatives playing a crucial role to manage risk of price volatility as 94 percent of the world’s top 500 companies are using them to hedge risks, Xiao said.

More than 300 listed companies on the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges employ futures and its derivatives to hedge price risks.

China has launched 45 futures products that cover agricultural, metal, energy and finance sectors.
