Jing also promised to make Ant Group, the financial technology arm of e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding, more "transparent and predictable" to the public during a speech at the Fourth China Internet Finance Forum on Tuesday. Alibaba owns South China Morning Post.

"If you're going to be disruptive in such a heavily regulated industry as finance, there is a duty of care to be transparent," said former IBM executive Richard Turrin, who is writing a book on fintech in China. "Jing's comments are exactly what the market needs to hear, and they are Ant Group's first step in getting its IPO back on track."Eric Jing, then president of Ant Financial, as the group was then called, at a press conference in Hong Kong on November 1 2016.
