Hong Kong-listed biotech firms are outperforming as Trump’s policies cause firms to change course from their traditional US destination, with more HKEX listings expected in the second half of 2025; experts shared their views at BIOHK.

As ties build between Hong Kong and Abu Dhabi, the two exchanges are exploring joint initiatives in market promotion, ETFs, ESG-related products, cross-listings and "other areas of mutual interest".

The record transaction from the Chinese insurance giant shows strong investor demand for hybrid equity instruments; the proceeds will be used for AI and international expansion.

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange has eased IPO public float requirements and has made reforms in the IPO price discovery process; it is also carrying out a further consultation; meanwhile, listings continue apace.

The Chinese telecom group's zero coupon, five-year, convertible bonds are listed on the HKEX and are convertible into fully paid H shares; the issuance follows recent ones from the likes of Henderson Land.

The dual listing will help keep momentum in Hong Kong's equity markets, with the majority of the $4.5bn proceeds raised by the Shenzhen based global EV player set to help build a factory in Hungary; a greenshoe option takes the raising to $5.2bn.

The Hong Kong-headquartered Asian life insurer, backed by billionaire Richard Li, has made several similar filings in recent years without triggering an IPO.

Minority owner Partners Group said the IPO proceeds will be used to further grow the Hangzhou-headquartered restaurant's 493 outlets and establish a centralised food processing facility; Clifford Chance, Citi and CMB International Capital were involved in the deal.

The SAR's stock exchange is enjoying a boom from Chinese firms looking to expand and tap more investors; the local economy also grew by 3.1% in the first quarter.
