Mainland China and Hong Kong regulators have urged major global investment banks to accelerate Chinese companies’ listings in Hong Kong, sources said, aiming to bolster overseas fundraising and revive the economy. In October, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) held two meetings with over 10 banks and law firms, including JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, UBS, CICC, and Huatai Securities, to expedite offshore listing approvals, according to sources. Since October, Hong Kong’s exchange operator has also conducted one-on-one meetings with global and Chinese banks to streamline the listing process. Hong Kong remains the preferred destination for Chinese firms’ offshore listings.
