The heat of the new stock listing continues to rise, and the advantages of Hong Kong's bi-directional empowerment are becoming more apparent.

In the first half of 2025, the Hong Kong new stock market performed as the best in the world with a total fundraising amount of 107.1 billion Hong Kong dollars. With a 20% increase in Hong Kong stocks, the city ranked first among the major financial centers worldwide, and its status as an international financial center became more stable. The boom in new listings in Hong Kong continues. On just one day, June 27, 16 mainland Chinese companies submitted applications to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, setting a new record for single-day listing applications. In early July, it is expected that 6 companies will be listed on the same day. Currently, there are 220 companies in line for listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. This wave of listings confirms the unique resilience and vitality of Hong Kong's capital market. As Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam stated, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, as the heart of Hong Kong's financial industry, has strengthened Hong Kong's role as a "super connector" and "super value-added player," and has taken multiple measures to continuously enhance the connectivity between mainland China and Hong Kong's capital markets.
