Date 20/08/2025
Bonnie Y Chan, Chief Executive Officer said:
HKEX started 2025 from a position of strength, reporting the Group’s best-ever half-yearly revenue and profit. Volumes in the Cash Market, Derivatives Market and Stock Connect all reached record half-yearly highs and we regained our position as the world’s No.1 IPO venue by funds raised. We also continued to make strategic progress in the first half of 2025, from diversifying our product ecosystem to enhancing our listing framework, and from breaking new ground in our commodities business to marking a new milestone in the development of Hong Kong’s FIC ecosystem. After receiving a record number of listing applications over a six-month period, we enter the second half of 2025 with new initiatives that are underway to further enhance the competitiveness and attractiveness of our markets – including preparations for a shorter cash market settlement cycle, the expansion of our paperless listing regime, as well as implementing enhanced IPO price discovery requirements and the first phase of reduced minimum spreads. Looking to the rest of the year and beyond, we at HKEX are committed to continuously enhancing our platforms, our infrastructure, and our products, to provide investors and issuers with the diversification, liquidity and connectivity they need to navigate the dynamic global macroeconomic environment.
