Bonnie Y Chan, Chief Executive Officer said:
In 2025, HKEX reinforced its role as a global superconnector, regained its position as the world’s leading venue for IPOs and set new trading as well as financial performance records. It was a year of momentum, progress and transformation for the Group, as ongoing reforms to our product ecosystem and market microstructure ensured we captured global investor trends, including the diversification of global capital and the surge in Asian innovation. Even as our markets experienced very robust performance during the year, we also maintained a strong pace of strategic delivery and continued to drive major reforms in our equities market, make strategic investments to expand our multi-asset ecosystem, such as acquiring a 20 per cent stake in CMU OmniClear, facilitate the launch of the first LME-approved warehouses in Hong Kong, and expand into adjacent businesses.
While we expect volatility to persist amid the prevailing macro landscape in 2026, we also see cause for optimism in capital markets as global investors adjust to the ongoing uncertainty of an increasingly multipolar world by seeking diversification and risk management opportunities in Asian, and specifically Chinese, assets.
At HKEX, we believe our ongoing strategic development programme, which includes investments to modernise our critical infrastructure, will ensure our business continues to remain competitive in this global landscape and will support Hong Kong in its role as a global IFC, facilitating capital flows in Asia and between this region and the rest of the world. In 2026, we will continue to leverage our unique advantages, meet the evolving demands of global investors, and ensure our markets are accessible and competitive.
