PANews reported on December 11th that Li Zhenguo, Vice Chairman of UBS Global Investment Banking, stated that the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's Chapter 18C provides a new listing channel for technology companies. He anticipates 150 to 200 companies will list in Hong Kong next year, with a total IPO size expected to reach HK$300 billion, ranking first globally. He believes consumer goods, high technology, and artificial intelligence will remain key themes next year. Continued interest rate cuts will remain a focus of the market, and the stabilization of mainland consumption will also benefit market development. Furthermore, the overall valuation of Greater China stocks is at a discount compared to US stocks, making them attractive.
