On April 5th, the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region published an essay reflecting on the economy in the first quarter of 2026. It mentions that the Hong Kong market is active, with an average daily trading volume exceeding HKD 260 billion in the first two months of this year, a 17% increase compared to last year. In March, the market became even more lively, with the average daily trading volume of Hong Kong stocks surpassing HKD 300 billion, an increase of over 8% compared to the same period last year. Investors are increasing their assets in Hong Kong, viewing it as a reliable safe haven for funds, alongside the steady growth of the mainland Chinese economy and the influx of high-quality companies entering the Hong Kong market, providing numerous investment opportunities. Meanwhile, global competition in advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence has intensified, requiring significant financial support for breakthroughs in key technologies, development of upper and lower industrial chain links, and exploration of broader application scenarios. The Hong Kong listing platform plays a key role in this regard, with the IPO market continuing to show strong results since last year. As of March 27th, the amount of funds raised exceeded HKD 103 billion, placing Hong Kong in the first place worldwide; including subsequent financing, the total amount of funds raised is approximately HKD 237 billion. An increasing number of companies entering the Hong Kong market belong to emerging industries such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, robotics, autonomous driving, and biotechnology. Currently, more than 500 applications are awaiting listing in Hong Kong. An increasing number of companies see Hong Kong as an important window for financing and "going global."
