Last year, Hong Kong ranked first globally in terms of funds raised through new listings. A total of 119 new stocks were listed throughout the year, raising a total of 286.9 billion Hong Kong dollars, an increase of 226% compared to the previous year. Two newly listed companies entered the ranks of the top five new listings in the world for the year 2025. In 2026, the number of new listing applications remains robust, with over 400 listing applications currently under review. Hong Kong Stock Exchange Chairman Don Jiancheng stated that despite the continuous changes in the macro environment, the financial performance of the exchange remains strong, mainly driven by the increasing interest and participation of international and mainland Chinese investors in the Hong Kong market. Looking ahead, as global capital allocation becomes more diversified and the economic influence of Asia continues to grow, the global fundraising market landscape is rapidly changing, bringing many new opportunities to the financial industry.
