The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (“HKEX”) today announces that Mr Aguzin, Chief Executive of HKEX, has informed the Board that he will not seek reappointment at the end of his current contract in May 2024.
The Board would like to express its gratitude to Mr Aguzin for his contribution and leadership over the last two and a half years against a particularly challenging macro backdrop, shaped by Covid and weak global markets. During his tenure, Mr Aguzin has overseen the delivery of a number of significant strategic initiatives, led efforts to promote HKEX internationally, opened new offices in New York and London and helped to deliver and enhance a series of products and platforms, including the growth in our derivatives and ETF markets. Mr Aguzin has expressed his appreciation to the Board for giving him the opportunity to lead the Company since May 2021.
Laura M Cha, Chairman, HKEX said, “On behalf of the HKEX Board, I would like to thank Nicolas for leading HKEX during a very challenging period. He has played a major role in driving the promotion of Hong Kong’s financial markets internationally during this time, re-starting dialogue and connectivity in a post-Covid world and ensuring that HKEX was very much seen as open-for-business. We fully respect his decision to pursue new opportunities and we wish him all the very best for the future. We look forward to working with him over the coming months to ensure a smooth transition.”
