On the 29th, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Saudi Arabian Stock Exchange Group jointly organized the second "Hong Kong Saudi Arabia Capital Market Forum" in Hong Kong, where participants discussed the constantly developing patterns and opportunities of capital markets in Asia, the Middle East, and even the world. The forum is themed "Promoting Communication" and will last for two days. After exploring investment opportunities in different regions, the forum also arranged business liaison activities and collaborated with the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government's Key Enterprise Introduction Office to facilitate over 600 conference invitations from companies and investors in both markets. At the same time, the "Premier BOCHK Saudi treasury bond ETF" was also officially listed on the forum. The Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong SAR Government, Paul Chan, stated that there are many excellent enterprises in the Middle East, and the SAR government will expand its connections with the Middle East market and share its experience in the mechanism of interconnection between Hong Kong and the mainland with the Middle East market. In addition to stocks and exchange traded funds (ETFs), both parties can explore more diverse options, such as cooperation in infrastructure and professional services. He also emphasized that the linked exchange system is effective and there are no plans to make changes. Chen Yiting, CEO of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Group, stated that the holding of this forum highlights the increasing synergies, capital flow potential, and mutual investment opportunities between the Middle East, mainland China, and Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange will strive to play the role of a "super liaison", continue to enhance financial market infrastructure and promote various cooperation plans, provide more new opportunities for Asian investors to invest in the Gulf region, and promote two-way capital flows between the Asia Pacific region and the Middle East market. Representatives from Saudi Arabia stated that the Saudi capital market is an important hub connecting the East and the West, and is renowned worldwide for its depth, resilience, and openness to international investors. Saudi Arabia will continue to expand its market, strengthen cross-border connections, and promote sustainable development in the future.
