Derivatives Trading As An Outgrowth Of Connect Programme, Keynote Speech At ISDA Derivatives Trading Forum, Mr Rico Leung, Executive Director, Hong Kong Securities And Futures Commission, Supervision Of Markets Division, 27 September 2023

Date 27/09/2023

Honourable guests, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. It is my pleasure to speak at the ISDA Derivatives Trading Forum today.

 

Over the past decades, Hong Kong has risen as the premier global financial centre to facilitate the opening-up of Mainland markets to investors worldwide. As the Chinese economy sprints ahead and markets modernise, the city plays a pivotal role as an offshore fund-raising centre and a bridge enabling cross-border market access. Here in Hong Kong, investors and industry players alike are blessed with the free flow of capital, sound market infrastructure, the rule of law, effective regulation, as well as international standards and practices. For years, our premier platform has allowed global investors to share in the fruits of China’s economic growth.

Today, I will speak to you about derivatives trading as an outgrowth of the Connect schemes. Let me first talk about the evolution of Mainland-Hong Kong mutual market access, before turning my focus to how greater connectivity underpins derivatives market developments.
