On May 20th, at the listing ceremony of Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL) on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Paul Chan, stated that as the largest new stock fundraising case in the world this year, CATL has successfully attracted global attention and become a focal point for global investors. Chan expressed that the listing of CATL on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange today reflects the confidence of both companies and investors in the Hong Kong stock market. The outstanding performance of the Hong Kong stock market, the strength of the Hong Kong dollar, and the vibrant market atmosphere this year have also provided positive expectations for the new stock market. The listing of CATL highlights these positive factors, and it is believed that it can further enhance the liquidity of Hong Kong stocks and promote the optimization of market structure.
