Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) has added the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) to its list of recognised stock exchanges, allowing Thai-listed firms to apply for a secondary listing in the city. The move expands cross-listing opportunities and gives Thai companies broader access to international investors. HKEX now recognises 20 stock exchanges across 18 countries, including Indonesia and Singapore. The inclusion is expected to enhance market liquidity and provide Hong Kong investors with more diversified opportunities. Meanwhile, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council highlighted growing consumer demand for Hong Kong products in Thailand and Indonesia, urging small and medium enterprises to explore these markets. The latest development strengthens Hong Kong’s position as a global financial hub amid intensifying competition for listings.
