- Recognised Stock Exchange status enables public limited companies listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) to apply for a secondary listing in Hong Kong
- SET joins 19 other exchanges from around the world already accepted as RSEs
The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the Exchange), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX), is pleased to announce today (Monday) that it has added the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) as a Recognised Stock Exchange (RSE).1
This will enable public limited companies with a primary listing on SET’s main market to apply for a secondary listing in Hong Kong. The addition increases the number of RSEs in Southeast Asia, which currently includes the Indonesian Stock Exchange and the Singapore Exchange.
HKEX Head of Listing, Katherine Ng, said: “We are pleased to be adding the Stock Exchange of Thailand to our list of Recognised Stock Exchanges, offering our investors the potential for more opportunities to invest in quality companies in the ASEAN region. SET is home to companies from many dynamic sectors, including energy, healthcare, and technology, and this addition will facilitate potential cross-listings, giving Thai companies access to a broader regional and global investor base, while enriching HKEX’s market offering and providing investors with a wider selection of investment opportunities. At HKEX, we are committed to enhancing the market’s attractiveness and strengthening Hong Kong’s position as Asia’s leading international financial centre.”
With the inclusion of SET, there are now 20 RSEs across 18 countries. A full list is available on the HKEX website. The Exchange will update the list of RSEs from time to time, on the basis that the exchanges meet its regulatory framework.

- Pursuant to Main Board Rule 1.01 (GEM Rule 1.01).
