At the 2026 HKEX Future Technology Summit, Laura Cha, the Chief Executive Officer of the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX), highlighted that the Hong Kong stock market is experiencing transformative shifts, with market liquidity increasingly gravitating toward the new economy and technology sectors. In the first five months of this year alone, the Hong Kong stock market successfully raised HK$160 billion through initial public offerings (IPOs), with the combined proceeds from IPOs and secondary offerings surpassing HK$400 billion. The secondary market has been particularly vibrant, recording an average daily trading volume of HK$275 billion, which further climbed to HK$293 billion in May. Cha emphasized that over the past decade, liquidity in the Hong Kong stock market has steadily transitioned from traditional industries to innovative sectors. Specifically, the tech sector's share of total market liquidity has surged from 15% to 44%, while its trading volume has expanded by more than seven times.
