股票创业板英语词汇

The country's long-awaited NASDAQ-style second board could start around October with 40 listed firms, it was suggested Sunday. The opening of the second board has been timed to coincide with the completion of the initial public offering reform on the main board.

second board就是股市中的“创业板”或“二板”，也称为growth enterprise board (GEB)，是指main board（主板，即各国主要的证券交易场所）之外的专为暂时无法上市的中小企业和新兴公司提供融资途径和成长空间的证券交易市场。
