<p>China has decreased the stamp duty on stock trading by more than half, which will come in effect starting Monday. The latest step is being seen as a step to boost China's struggling economy which the Wall Street Journal recently reported is way past its days of boom.</p>

<p>The Chinese&nbsp;finance ministry said in a brief statement on Sunday it was reducing the 0.1 per cent&nbsp;duty on stock trades "in order to invigorate the capital market and boost investor confidence".</p>

<p>Earlier, it was reported that the&nbsp;authorities were planning to cut the duty by up to half after a key share index fell to nine-month lows.</p>

<p>"Such a policy will likely give a short-term boost to the market but won't have much effect over the long run," Xie Chen, a fund manager at Shanghai Jianwen Investment Management Co, said before the announcement. "The rebound could last for just two to three days, or even shorter."</p>

<p>Other than the finance ministry, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) is also rolling out measures to revive&nbsp;market confidence in investing in listed companies.</p>
