Building the Marketplace of the Future

2022 Corporate Update

 

HKEX is one of the world’s largest and most respected exchange groups, a financial superconnector with China and a trusted capital raising venue of choice with a deep and diverse ecosystem. HKEX is part of a rapidly transforming industry and now is the time to build on our China strength, enhance our market vibrancy, and position for the future.

Our vision is to build the Marketplace of the Future and is supported by three strategic imperatives: Connecting China and the World, Connecting Capital with Opportunities, and Connecting Today with Tomorrow.


Latest 2023 Q3 Results.

“This was another good quarter of strategic progress for the Group, accompanied by strong headline financials. Quarterly revenue was up 18 per cent, core business revenue was up 9 per cent and profit attributable to shareholders was up 30 per cent compared with the 2022 comparable period.
 
Despite challenging global markets, these results reflect HKEX’s resiliency, the purposeful ongoing diversification of the business, our active management of costs and the team’s resolute focus on the execution of our strategy. Highlights included the continued health and growth in HKEX’s Derivatives Markets, the go-live of a new smart-contract settlement platform, HKEX Synapse in October, and the confirmed launch of FINI, Hong Kong’s new digitalised IPO settlement platform for later this quarter.
 
The macro backdrop remains fragile, but the business is in good shape and is well-positioned to capitalise on slowly improving market sentiment. Looking forward we will continue to place our customers at the heart of all that we do as we leverage our unique China connectivity and continue to strengthen the attractiveness and competitiveness of our markets and our offering. ”
