China securities association estimated in June that there were about 1 trillion yuan worth of grey market margin loans extended via the industry three mainstream stock trading systems. The crackdown targets both new and existing businesses, but for some brokerages whose clients have borrowed massively in the grey market, the deadline can be pushed back to the end of October, the newspaper said, citing unnamed sources.
