Chen Yiting: This year, Hong Kong stock new equity financing has increased significantly, with the A+H model contributing to seventy percent.

At the Future Technology Summit held at HKEX (00388), Charles Li, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, stated that the scale of financing in the Hong Kong stock market for new listings has significantly increased this year. As of the end of August, the total financing amount for new listings on the Hong Kong stock market reached 137.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, nearly 6 times higher than the same period in 2024, far exceeding the overall performance of the global new listing financing market. Charles Li pointed out that the increase in financing activity in the Hong Kong stock market reflects the continued strengthening of market confidence, especially the "A+H" listing model, which accounted for 70% of the total financing in the first half of the year, becoming an important driving force for market growth. Industry insiders believe that the system innovation of HKEX and the active participation of mainland enterprises have brought new development opportunities to the Hong Kong capital market and further consolidated Hong Kong's status as an international financial center.
