BEIJING, May 12 (Reuters) - Trade in the shares of 45 listed
Chinese companies based in southwestern Sichuan province and the
municipality of Chongqing will be suspended from Tuesday because
of Monday's earthquake, the official Xinhua news agency said.
Xinhua cited the Shanghai Stock Exchange as saying trade
would be suspended because the exchange was unable to get in
contact with the companies. Trading in the stocks would only
resume after the companies had published statements on the
impact of the earthquake on their operations, it said.
The companies whose shares would be suspended included:
-- Sinolink Securities <600109.SS>
-- Sichuan Hongda <600331.SS>
-- Chongqing Three Gorges Water Conservance and Electric
Power Co Ltd <600116.SS>
-- Sichuan Road & Bridge <600039.SS>
-- Sichuan Minjiang Hydropower Co Ltd <600131.SS>
-- Tuopai Yeast Liquor Co Ltd <600702.SS>
Xinhua also said three companies listed in Shenzhen had
issued statements on the damage they had incurred. Panzhihua
Iron & Steel (Group) Co <000629.SZ> and Luzhou Lao Jiao Co Ltd
<000568.SZ> said they had not been impacted by the earthquake.
Sichuan Gaojin Food Co Ltd <002143.SZ> said some of its
property had been affected, but it was covered by insurance.
