HKEX CEO Chen Yiting said rising international diversification into China is
driving a historic re‑rating of Chinese assets. He noted Hong Kong secondary
trading has stayed elevated this year: average daily spot turnover in the first
eight months exceeded HKD 280 billion, up 14% YoY. Shanghai‑Shenzhen‑Hong Kong
Stock Connect has run smoothly and derivatives markets remain active. On the
primary market, 104 companies listed in Hong Kong through end-August, raising
over HKD 340 billion—already above 2025’s full‑year total. International
cornerstone investor participation in Hong Kong IPOs is at multi‑year highs,
with long‑term capital from the Middle East, Europe, North America and other
APAC regions increasing.
