Sources indicate that many players require additional time for training and preparation, suggesting that the proposed fourth quarter of 2027 deadline might be extended. The exchange operator, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, is expected to announce conclusions from its consultation process soon, with a potential timeline adjustment being a key consideration.
