China Tells

Hongkong Stock Exchange is the IPO Champion of 2009: bigger than NYSE. At the same time, however, Hongkong stock exchange is under serious threat from Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchange. To walk out of the competition, HKSE is looking into expanding on an international horizon by attracting more foreign companies to get listed (See Article from Economist). Recently HKSE is working on a potential IPO deal for Rusal – A Russian mining company. The success of Rusal’s IPO is likely to be followed by six to seven other Russian companies to go to the HK bourse. In addition, several German companies have been floated in this year as well.

香港证券交易所高度警惕，时刻保持危机感。由于感觉到上海和深圳证券交易所对中国公司上市的竞争力，香港证券交易所放眼全球，努力吸引外国公司，如俄罗斯和德国的公司来香港上市。香港由于其自由的商业环境以及背靠大陆对许多公司都有很大的吸引力。
