The newly-established Beijing Stock Exchange (BSE) has reported smooth operation in its first month of trading, reaping a turnover of 47.89 billion yuan (about 7.52 billion U.S. dollars) since its opening on November 15.

As of Tuesday, 82 companies were listed on the bourse, of which 11 were newly approved and 71 were transferred from the selected tier of China's National Equities Exchange and Quotations (NEEQ), also known as the "new third board," BSE data shows.

Of the first-month turnover, the average stock growth recorded 0.91 percent, while the 11 new ones all saw skyrocketing performance, averaging a significant increase of 110.84 percent.

Tian Xuan, associate dean at PBC School of Finance of Tsinghua University, said the BSE has highlighted China's fresh move to support innovation-driven small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as it comes with lower listing thresholds, diverse evaluation standards and a shorter approval time.

"The establishment (of the Beijing Stock Exchange) was to deepen reform in the country's financial system and set up a multi-level capital market. It was established to better serve innovative small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and provide them with a financing platform so that they could yield rapid growth," said Tian.

Meanwhile, the BSE also saw an uptick in stability, with daily average amplitude down from the 25.52 percent in mid-November to the current 5.28 percent.

Chen Li, member of the Chief Economists Committee affiliated to the Securities Association of China, said fluctuations have now fallen in reasonable ranges, and prices have been quite stable as the BSE improves its pricing functions.

"The trading (on the Beijing Stock Exchange) has been very active. In the meantime, investors have given great attention to the major companies of the Beijing Stock Exchange, realizing its function of value-discovering. The Beijing Stock Exchange has not only facilitated financing for small enterprises, but also fueled the entire market's attention for innovative enterprises. This has helped the capital market serve the real economy," said Chen.
