In response to the proposal of extending trading hours during the 2025 interim results meeting, Chen Yiting, the Chief Executive Officer of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX), expressed an open yet cautious stance. She emphasized that while HKEX remains receptive to the idea, extending trading hours has far-reaching implications for the market and necessitates thorough evaluation and extensive market consultation. Chen Yiting highlighted that introducing a 24-hour trading system would eliminate the existing buffer period for error correction, making it imperative to proceed with caution and, as of now, there are no concrete plans to implement such a change.
