Entities Listing on HKEX Series – Session 5: Updating on New Listing Issues (archived session)

In 2023, there marked an 18% cut in the number of IPOs and a 54% decline in proceeds raised in Hong Kong. To recuperate from the downturn, continuous efforts have been made in the Hong Kong IPO market to boost the overall attractiveness of Hong Kong's capital market.

As a word, this will be a challenge year for the Hong Kong Capital Market.
