HK Tech 100 index drives demand.
HKEX's index business is seeing strong investor demand for benchmarking and referencing; the HK Tech 100 Index is deliberately constructed to be more diverse and representative than existing benchmarks, and HKEX believes Hong Kong as a market will benefit from a bigger variety of indices.
Strong IPO pipeline and international listings.
HKEX says its IPO pipeline remains strong, with close to ten international companies applying to list in Hong Kong, and collaborations such as recognizing Bursa Malaysia are making secondary listings easier; companies that outgrow domestic markets find Hong Kong's deeper liquidity pool attractive.
