China Expands Stock Connect: Mainland Investors can Trade Foreign Companies Listed on Hong Kong Exchange via Southbound Trading, Opens Shanghai & Shenzhen Stock Exchanges to Overseas Investors via Northbound Trading
8th September 2022 | Hong Kong
The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) has announced new initiatives to expand Stock Connect, allowing Mainland investors to trade foreign companies listed on Hong Kong Exchange (HKEX) via Southbound Trading, and opening up Shanghai & Shenzhen Stock Exchanges to overseas investors via Northbound Trading. Fang Xinghai, Vice-Chairman of the CSRC also announced enhancement to the treasury bond futures & RMB market, supporting Hong Kong to introduce treasury bond futures, opening up of China’s treasury bond futures market to overseas investors and inclusion of RMB counters in Stock Connect for southbound trading. Julia Leung, Hong Kong Securities & Futures Commission (SFC) Acting Chief Executive Office: “The inclusion of foreign companies in southbound trading of Stock Connect is a significant breakthrough in broadening the mutual access scheme and augmenting the attractiveness of our stock exchange as a leading destination for fundraising by international companies. The SFC will be working closely with the CSRC, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) and its Mainland counterparts to determine additional securities eligible for inclusion in both trading links … … As overseas investment in China’s bond market via Bond Connect increases, the CSRC’s support of introducing treasury bond futures in Hong Kong will help overseas investors better manage the risks associated with their exposures, The support for Hong Kong to develop an offshore treasury bond futures and RMB dual counter trading will further strengthen Hong Kong’s role as a risk management centre and an offshore RMB centre.”

To this end, a working group comprising the SFC, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and HKEX has completed a feasibility study earlier this year on promoting trading of RMB-denominated securities in Hong Kong and discussions with the CSRC are underway to explore the inclusion of RMB-denominated securities in southbound trading. The SFC will be working closely with the CSRC and HKEX on all three initiatives. Further announcement on their details will be made in due course.
