******************************************************************************************
Prominent leaders from professional service organisations and corporates, including the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX), Deloitte China, and China International Capital Corporation Limited, spoke at the seminar. They provided in-depth insights into Hong Kong's listing process and competitive advantages, discussed financial and tax planning strategies, and explored post-listing international business development opportunities. Representatives from Mainland enterprises already listed in Hong Kong also shared their success stories. They highlighted how they have successfully leveraged Hong Kong's unique advantages to go public and scale into global markets.
In his welcome remarks, Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion at InvestHK Mr Arnold Lau said, "As an international financial centre, Hong Kong is having the strong support of the country while maintaining unparalleled connectivity with the world under the 'one country, two systems' principle. In the first half of 2025, IPO fundraising in Hong Kong exceeded $107 billion, ranking first globally. Notably, consumer goods, retail, and services accounted for 34 per cent of Main Board listings, reflecting strong market vitality. Over the past two and a half years, Invest Hong Kong has supported more than 1 300 companies in establishing a presence in Hong Kong, bringing in over $160 billion in investment, a clear reflection of international enterprises’ confidence in and recognition of Hong Kong’s business environment. This year marks the 25th anniversary of both Invest Hong Kong and the HKEX. We will continue to work closely together to support enterprises from listing to global expansion, contributing to the nation's dual circulation strategy."
Vice President, Global Issuer Services of the HKEX, Ms Maria Yuan, provided an introduction of Hong Kong's listing regulations, processes and policies, mapping the route for companies to list in Hong Kong.
During the panel discussion, the Capital Market Services Group (HK) Leader, Southern Region of Deloitte China, Mr Robert Lui, said, "Hong Kong's mature capital market, stable valuations, and ample liquidity, combined with its simple, low-tax regime, are favourable factors for businesses to build competitive financial and tax structures. For Mainland F&B companies, listing in Hong Kong not only helps boost brand visibility but also leverages the city's pivotal roles as both a 'super connector' and 'super value-adder', accelerating overseas expansion."
