The launch of Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect will open a new era for mutual market access between Hong Kong and Mainland. It is a first step, also a ground-breaking step, of a long journey that will take us to greater strategic cooperation and integration of the two markets. Hong Kong, in the past, has been playing a vital role in the evolution of China’s growth story. In the new chapter of mutual market access, how will Hong Kong continue to be successful in its role and become a comprehensive global financial centre? In his talk, Mr. Charles Li, Chief Executive of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, will share his thoughts on these topics and his blueprint for the future development of Hong Kong capital market.
