HKEX Releases 2022 First Quarter Results

Date 27/04/2022

HIGHLIGHTS

Nicolas Aguzin, Chief Executive Officer said: “Throughout Q1 2022, HKEX demonstrated its robustness and resiliency despite ongoing market volatility and geopolitical fragility. Cash Market trading volumes remained at long-term normalised levels, our IPO pipeline was incredibly strong, we welcomed a range of new products such as our first SPAC listing and a number of new thematic ETFs, and we announced some important market-enhancing initiatives such as Derivatives Holiday Trading and IR Connect. However, we were not immune to global market sentiment which resulted in some softness in the IPO market, reduced valuations in our investment portfolio and pricing volatility in our commodities market. Looking forward, I am confident that we remain extremely well-placed, with a range of significant opportunities ahead. We have a strong team, a clear strategy and we are fully focused on delivering our vision to build the Marketplace of the Future."
