Hong Kong Securities And Futures Commission Supports Chief Executive’s Initiatives

Date 25/11/2020

The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) welcomes the initiatives in the Chief Executive’s Policy Address to further deepen the mutual access between the Mainland and Hong Kong financial markets.


The SFC’s Chairman, Mr Tim Lui said: “The expansion of the scope of eligible securities under the mutual market access programmes will help consolidate and enhance Hong Kong’s status as an international financial centre as well as its competitiveness.  We will continue to work closely with The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong to facilitate the launch of the initiatives.” 

The SFC also supports further promoting the development of private equity funds, family office business, and the real estate investment trusts (REIT) market in Hong Kong and will soon release its consultation conclusions on proposed regulatory changes that would give REITs more flexibility in making investments.
