Speaking at an HKEX Future Tech Summit in Shenzhen, HKEX CEO Chen Yiting said
market momentum has stayed strong this year, with IPO activity and average daily
secondary-market turnover up markedly year-to-date. She added that over the past
decade liquidity has flowed from traditional industries into innovation: the
technology sector’s market share rose from 15% to 44% and turnover has increased
more than sevenfold, reflecting a shift of investor attention toward high-growth
sectors and Hong Kong’s transition toward a tech- and new-economy–driven market.
