HKEX Welcomes Swap Connect Enhancements Announced By Hong Kong And Mainland Regulators

HKEX Chief Executive Officer, Bonnie Y Chan, said: “We warmly welcome the latest enhancements to Swap Connect announced today by Hong Kong and Mainland regulators. As the world’s first derivatives mutual market access programme, Swap Connect has proved very popular with Hong Kong and international investors, providing them access to Mainland China’s interbank Swaps market, and we will now work closely on implementation with our partners, China Foreign Exchange Trade System and Shanghai Clearing House. As we celebrate the first anniversary of Swap Connect this week and the 10th anniversary of Stock Connect this year, we look forward to further enhancing and expanding our broader Connect programmes with our Mainland partners, supporting the long-term sustainable development of markets in both Hong Kong and Mainland China.”
