Chairman Liu Cheng of CITIC Securities: Domestic securities firms in the Hong Kong stock market have evolved from "participants" to "main force".

On September 17, at the Citic Securities 2025 Global Investors Conference, Citic Securities Chairman Liu Cheng stated in his speech that there is great potential in the Hong Kong financial market, and domestic securities firms have great potential in Hong Kong. "With the unique advantage of 'backed by the motherland, connected to the world', domestic securities firms in the Hong Kong stock market have grown from 'participants' to 'main force'." Liu Cheng stated that with a deep understanding of mainland policies and industry logic, precise grasp of the rules of the Hong Kong stock market, and precise matching of two-way investment demand, domestic securities firms are continuously exerting efforts in cross-border investment and financing, wealth management, investment banking, and other fields. From supporting the return of Chinese concept stocks, supporting Hong Kong IPOs, to serving "Mainland enterprises going global" in their globalization layout, domestic securities firms are using Hong Kong as a pivot point to leverage the deep integration of the mainland and international markets.
