Bonnie Chan: Using technology to improve listing approval efficiency, shortening the stock settlement cycle is the global trend

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Chief Executive Bonnie Chan said the company will use AI and other technologies to improve listing approval efficiency. The Stock Exchange and the Securities and Futures Commission have committed to striving to complete reviews within 40 working days and two rounds of regulatory comments, provided the information is in place. She said shortening the Hong Kong stock settlement cycle from T+2 to T+1 is the global trend, and supporting arrangements will be explained when the consultation conclusions are announced.
