Hong Kong Exchanges considers merging GEM board with main board

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) is considering a merger of its Growth Enterprise Market (GEM) board with the main board. This move aims to revitalize the underperforming GEM, which has seen low turnover and few new listings. The proposal involves creating a new chapter within the listing rules, potentially Chapter 18D, to accommodate companies from the GEM board, and is expected to undergo public consultation by year-end.
