Paul Chan Mo-po: Since the beginning of this year, Hong Kong's fundraising amount from new stock listings continues to rank first globally

Goldmoney reports: On April 26, Hong Kong SAR Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po said today (26) that, building on last year’s achievements, Hong Kong’s new stock fundraising amount has continued to rank first globally since the start of this year. As of last week, the amount raised through new stock listings in Hong Kong stocks has exceeded HKD 140 billion. From March to date, the average daily trading value in Hong Kong stocks has exceeded HKD 280 billion. These developments show that even as conditions around the world shift, the development of Hong Kong’s financial markets remains unstoppable.

Chan Mo-po noted that the upcoming Mainland May Day Golden Week is approaching. The Hong Kong SAR Immigration Department expects that during the holiday period, about 980,000 Mainland visitors will come to Hong Kong, an increase of about 7% compared with the same period last year. The SAR government will ensure that all supporting measures are in place and manage passenger flow at popular attractions, hoping to provide travelers with a better experience and to continue benefiting industries such as catering and retail.
