Chen Yiting, Chief Executive Officer of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (00388.HK), said that amid geopolitical uncertainty, more international investors are eager to participate in Asian markets. She noted that HKEX can provide other exchange partners with a unique platform connecting Mainland China opportunities with global capital, and will continue enhancing its cross-asset platform and products to strengthen market diversity, breadth and liquidity. Speaking at the annual conference of the Asian and Oceanian Stock Exchanges Federation, Chen said Asias importance to the global economy continues to rise. Between 2014 and 2024, global investors allocation to Asia doubled to approximately USD6 trillion, while capital markets in the region have expanded fourfold since 2000, surpassing USD34 trillion by the end of 2024. The federations 17 exchange members account for about one-quarter of global market capitalization. She added that the Stock Connect mechanism contributes more than 70% of international holdings in Mainland A-shares. She described initiatives such as jointly branded indices launched in collaboration with Bursa Malaysia and Korea Exchange as bridges linking market participants and opportunities across markets, creating substantial capital pools within the region. Tang Ka-shing, Chairman of HKEX, said that as geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions become increasingly complex, exchanges play a particularly important role as connectors, and strengthening connectivity among exchanges is critical. He also mentioned the development of connectivity programs with the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the Shanghai Stock Exchange, expressing confidence that such cooperation will accelerate regional economic growth, attract more global capital, and deliver greater achievements for all markets and economies.
