"Tim Lui, chairman of the Hong Kong Securities and Regulatory Commission, has put forward a series of proposals aimed at bolstering Hong Kong's position as an international financial centre, the Shanghai Securities Journal reports. Speaking at China's National People's Congress last week, Lui proposes expanding the range of eligible products in the ETF Connect scheme to include ETFs covering offshore equities and bond ETFs, providing mainland investors with a new channel to access international financial markets. The HK-China ETF Connect was launched in July 2022, but only products that track indices that primarily cover Hong Kong-listed stocks are permitted in the scheme." #IgnitesAsia The current rules also state that ETFs listed on the Hong Kong exchange and regulated by the SFC, called southbound ETFs, must be traded in the Hong Kong dollar and maintain daily average assets under management over the past six months of at least HK$1.7 billion (US$217.4 million).

#SFC welcomes the five measures announced by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) today to further enhance Stock Connect and to strengthen Hong Kong’s status as an international financial centre.    The measures include: (i) expanding the scope of eligible exchange-traded funds (ETFs) under Stock Connect; (ii) incorporating real estate investment trusts (REITs) into Stock Connect; (iii) supporting the inclusion of RMB-denominated stocks into southbound Stock Connect; (iv) enhancing the scheme of mutual recognition of funds; and (v) supporting the listing of leading Mainland companies in Hong Kong.    “We are delighted that the joint efforts of the two securities regulators now bear fruit with several mutual market access schemes seeing significant breakthroughs. We believe the expansion of Stock Connect and the enhancements of the mutual recognition of funds will enrich product choice for Mainland and international investors, thus enabling Hong Kong to better leverage its unique role and advantages in the opening-up of the country’s capital market,” said SFC’s CEO Ms Julia Leung.    “We are also grateful for the CSRC’s continuous efforts in facilitating a smooth fundraising channel for Mainland companies to seek listing in Hong Kong, in particular, its support for leading Mainland companies to list in Hong Kong. This will enhance the attractiveness of Hong Kong’s IPO market and the liquidity of the secondary market.”    See the press release for details: https://lnkd.in/gZa9zFtP
