# What will happen to the offline branches of securities firms after closing over a hundred this year?

> More than 20 securities firms have closed their business departments and branches this year, with over 100 outlets being shut down. Securities firms are consolidating business departments and eliminating inefficient outlets to concentrate resources in core areas and high-potential businesses, promoting the industry's transformation towards refined operations. Industry insiders believe that the integration of offline outlets aims to enhance operational efficiency and control costs. Due to the rise of internet finance and the decline in trading commissions, the cost-effectiveness of traditional business departments has decreased, making the "downsizing" of securities firms inevitable

According to incomplete statistics, more than 20 securities firms have announced the closure of their business departments and branches nationwide, with a total of over 100 outlets being shut down. By consolidating business departments and eliminating inefficient outlets, securities firms are concentrating resources on core areas and high-potential businesses, pushing the industry from "extensive expansion" to a new stage of "refined operations." Industry insiders generally believe that the continuous integration of offline outlets by securities firms is mainly driven by the need to improve operational efficiency and control costs. With the rise of internet finance, continuous decline in trading commissions, and the industry entering a stage of stock competition, the "cost-effectiveness" of traditional business departments has significantly decreased: on one hand, they struggle to meet customers' demands for convenient and diversified services; on the other hand, high rents and labor costs have intensified profit pressures, making the "slimming down" of securities firms inevitable
