Nicolas Aguzin, Chief Executive Officer said: “The year has got off to a very good start, with HKEX reporting one of its best quarters ever. Our clear strategy, commitment to offering our customers around the world more choice and opportunity and our resolute focus on our unique strength of connecting China and the World, is producing results. Despite economic fragility impacting market volumes around the world, this quarter our derivatives market has gone from strength-to-strength, we announced a range of important new strategic initiatives such as our new Specialist Technology Company listing regime and Stock Connect eligible stocks and trading calendar enhancements, and we welcomed a host of new issuers and products to our markets. As we look forward to the rest of the year, we will continue to execute on our strategy, ensuring that we are active proponents of global dialogue and connectivity, working with all our regional and international stakeholders to deliver shared sustainable success. We remain fully committed to prudently investing in our people, our operations and our markets, reinforcing our relevance and role at the heart of one of the world’s leading international financial centres."
