HKEX has teamed up with Bank of Communications to launch a series of IPO workshops in Mainland China to share details about Hong Kong's financial market, discuss the benefits of listing in the city and promote cooperation between the Mainland and Hong Kong.
HKEX Chief China Economist Professor Ba Shusong led an HKEX delegation to Wuhan, China this past Wednesday for the first stop on the nationwide tour. Professor Ba kicked off the workshop by elaborating on the macro-economic sentiment and recent investment outlook in Hong Kong, which was followed by a lively Q&A session.
HKEX Global Issuer Services Assistant Vice President Alex Zhao introduced the benefits of a Hong Kong listing and several other hot topics pertaining to IPOs, while representatives from the Bank of Communications detailed cross-border financing and explained Hong Kong's role as a syndicated loans centre in Asia as well as its offshore debt capital market development.
After the forum, Professor Ba and key representatives from the Bank of Communications Hong Kong Branch and Hubei Branch met with Wuhan Mayor Zhou Xianwang and Vice Mayor Xu Honglan to discuss concrete measures to further promote financial cooperation between Wuhan and Hong Kong in order to attract more companies from Wuhan to list and issue bonds in Hong Kong.
