While both CICC and CGS have denied there is a discussion on the merger and said that there is no information that needs to be disclosed, we still believe a combination of them makes absolute sense given their complementary business profile. In the medium term, further consolidation of China's securities sector is the correct direction, and the government has actively pushed this.
