However, since there are still disagreements over the interpretation of the new rules, other investment banks continue to provide services for the provision of quotas. “This is a serious change in our business model, but we decided that the best way to make concessions and, therefore, taken the most urgent measures” - says the head of the Department of the Chinese stock market UBS Nicole Yuen (Nicole Yuen).
