Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) welcomes the announcement (Friday) by Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission and the China Securities Regulatory Commission on additional Stock Connect trading calendar enhancements, adding up to over 10 trading days to Northbound and Southbound Connect each year.
Currently, Northbound trading on Stock Connect would be closed on the trading day before a Hong Kong public holiday, because banking services aren’t available in the Hong Kong market on public holidays. The enhancements will enable Northbound trading under Stock Connect on all trading days that are mutual to the Hong Kong and Mainland China markets. Similar adjustments will also be made to the Southbound arrangements of Stock Connect.
Great news to #StockConnect! We welcome the announcement today by HK’s SFC and the CSRC on additional #StockConnect trading calendar enhancements, adding up to over 10 trading days to Northbound & Southbound Connect each year. Learn more at https://t.co/tLPsSPXYkd pic.twitter.com/lUZyo85dVR

We look forward to working with all our stakeholders and regulators in delivering these enhancements, as we continue to build Hong Kong’s role as a global superconnector.”
