Hong Kong Stock Exchange's Charles Li: Over 400 companies in line to go public, not afraid of "dammed lake" phenomenon.

On February 4th, Hong Kong Stock Exchange CEO Charles Li attended a media event and said that currently there are over 400 companies waiting to go public. He mentioned that the demand for companies to go public is very strong, and at the same time, global investors are increasingly interested in diversifying their investments. Therefore, he is not worried about the phenomenon of an "IPO dam". Li said that in the current market environment, global investors are seeking diversification in their investments. Hong Kong IPOs are particularly favored by international investors, and in the past year and a half, we have seen that as long as there are high-quality IPOs, overseas funds will come in. Hong Kong has always been an open market where funds can flow in at any time. If there are good companies going public, money will come from all directions, and the problem of an "IPO dam" does not exist. The Hong Kong IPO market will experience a strong recovery in 2025, with a total IPO financing amount of 285.8 billion Hong Kong dollars for the year, reclaiming the top spot globally.
