The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) has approved the initial public offering (IPO) applications of three companies.

The companies are-- Qingdao Port International Co, Ltd., Golden Horse Technology Entertainment Co, Ltd, and Vats Liquor Chain Store Management Joint Stock Co, Ltd, reports Xinhua.

China's securities regulator said in a statement that the companies will be listed on the A-share market. However, the CSRC did not specify the total amount of funds to be raised.

The companies and their underwriters will confirm the IPO dates and publish their prospectuses following discussions with the stock exchanges.

Under the current IPO system, new shares are subject to approval from the CSRC. China is gradually switching from an approval-based IPO system to one based on registration.

The CSRC has approved a total of 91 IPOs in the Jan.-Nov. period, dropping sharply from last year when a total of 401 companies got go-aheads for stock market debut, according to the Shanghai Securities News.
