A Decade of Excellence: Huatai Securities Celebrates H-Share Anniversary
Huatai Securities has continuously expanded its international presence since its H-share listing a decade ago.
Over the past ten years, Huatai Securities has facilitated nearly 600 domestic and international financing deals for enterprises globally, with a total fundraising volume of approximately USD 280 billion.
HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 30 May 2025 - As Huatai Securities approaches the 10th anniversary of its H-share listing, the Company recently hosted a forum in Hong Kong themed "Technology Reshaping Hong Kong's Financial Future," underscoring its commitment to expanding its international presence by fostering innovation and collaboration in Hong Kong and beyond.
The event convened guests from the government, academia, business partners, and the investment community to explore strategic pathways for Chinese enterprises to leverage Hong Kong in the restructuring of global industrial chains.
Paul Chan, Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong SAR, delivered the opening remarks at the forum, stating: "Over the past decade, Hong Kong's capital market has continuously advanced through reforms, significantly enhancing its role in connecting the Mainland and the world. Amidst rapid global changes, China's innovative technology sector and its emerging enterprise value are creating new development opportunities for Hong Kong's financial market. Chinese financial institutions are key to this progress, and the SAR government anticipates collaborative efforts to accelerate our capital markets' development."
Carlson Tong, Chairman of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, emphasized the importance of Hong Kong as the Mainland's preferred offshore financing destination: "In the past decade, Hong Kong has raised over USD 300 billion in IPOs, primarily driven by Chinese enterprises. With technological innovation increasingly shaping our capital market, Hong Kong continues to provide vital financing channels for the global expansion of outstanding Chinese tech companies through ongoing institutional innovation."
Over the past decade, Hong Kong has solidified its position as a leading financial hub, achieving HKD 2.2 trillion in IPO fundraising and ranking first globally on four occasions. As the IPO market regains its status as the second-largest globally in 2025, the increasing interest of Chinese technology companies in international capital reflects a broader transformation within Hong Kong's financial landscape.
In this dynamic environment, Huatai Securities has emerged as one of the main participants in Hong Kong's capital markets. Since the Company's H-Share listing, Huatai has facilitated nearly 600 financing deals, amassing a total fundraising volume of approximately USD 280 billion. Since 2022, the Company has sponsored 29 IPOs in Hong Kong, ranking second among all market participants. In the first five months of 2025 alone, the Company sponsored 6 IPOs, maintaining its second-place ranking.[1] Its international footprint extends beyond Hong Kong, with operations in the United States, a GDR listing on the London Stock Exchange, and a licensed subsidiary in Singapore.
Zhou Yi, CEO of Huatai Securities, remarked: "Hong Kong's strengths as an international financial center have been instrumental in helping Chinese enterprises, including Huatai Securities, grow and succeed globally over the past decade. Our focus on client service, innovation, technology, and international expansion has driven our transformation into a global firm. Looking forward, we will continue to partner with domestic and international players to explore new opportunities and create mutual value."
The forum also featured insights from Professor Li Zexiang of HKUST, founder of XbotPark, who shared key achievements from his decade-long efforts to integrate industry, academia, and research. Entrepreneurs from sectors including biopharmaceuticals, consumption, and autonomous driving gathered to discuss how industrial trends and technology shifts are reshaping global strategies and competitiveness for enterprises.

Lord Mayor of London expects UK-UAE economic and investment ties to strengthen further
Alastair King, the Lord Mayor of London, is expecting economic relations between the UK and the UAE to strengthen further, with a focus on co-operation and investments in important industrial and financial sectors. These industries of 'mutual strength' include green and transition finance, financial regulation for economic growth, pension reform and financial innovation, the British embassy in the UAE said in a statement on Saturday, following Mr King's visit to the Emirates on Friday. The UK delegation, which included representatives from insurer Howden, financial institution Aberdeen Group, KPMG and FinTech firm Guavapay, won commitments for Emirati participation in City of London Corporation events such as the Net Zero Delivery Summit scheduled for June 23 and May's Global Risk Summit, it said. Mr King, who as Lord Mayor acts as an ambassador for the UK's financial and professional services sector, noted how UK investment strategies align with the 'We the UAE 2031' strategy, supporting objectives across sustainability, innovation and economic diversification. 'The UK and UAE share a commitment to innovation, investment and sustainable growth, which drives our dynamic and growing trade relationship, particularly in the financial sector,' he said. His visit came after this month's unveiling of the Mansion House Accord, an agreement between the UK government and Britain's biggest pension funds aimed at unlocking up to £50 billion ($67.3 billion) in investments for the UK's infrastructure, its businesses and overall economy. 'The accord will strengthen [the UK-UAE] relationship further … this could create valuable co-investment partnerships aligned with the Emirati's appetite for high-quality, de-risked opportunities,' Mr King said. The UK and the UAE have maintained relationships dating to 1971. Co-operation between the countries span intelligence, defence and security, through joint diplomatic initiatives at the UN on hunger and access to education, to climate change, finance and artificial intelligence regulation. Total trade in goods and services between the countries hit £24.3 billion at the end of 2024, making the UAE the UK's 19th largest trading partner and largest trading partner in the Gulf region, data from the British embassy shows. Mr King's visit yielded 'tangible outcomes, including the exploration of collaborative investment initiatives in priority sectors such as sustainability, infrastructure and financial services', the statement said. Discussions also focused on encouraging equity and debt listings on the London Stock Exchange and resolving regulatory barriers for UK financial and professional services firms seeking to establish or expand in the UAE, it added. 'Both parties committed to establishing continuing knowledge exchange in innovation, pension reform and regulatory best practices, with a joint initiative on sustainable finance to be launched in the coming months.'

Markets feel heat as Trump claims China broke trade deal
Stock markets ended the week mixed, reversing rallies on Friday after US President Donald Trump accused China of 'totally violating' their trade deal, reigniting tensions that had simmered down after a detente three weeks ago. Mr Trump, in a post on his Truth Social platform, said US levies made it 'impossible' for China to trade with the US, and that the 'fast deal' was struck to prevent a 'very bad situation' for Beijing. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said China was 'slow-rolling' its compliance with the agreement, particularly on minerals and rare earth magnets. The US and China, the world's two biggest economies, have been the main protagonists in the trade war, with Washington imposing 145 per cent tariffs on Chinese imports. Beijing responded in kind, posting 125 per cent levies on American imports. However, on May 12, the White House announced that both sides struck a surprise deal to suspend their tariffs for 90 days, with the US and China lowering their levies to 30 per cent and 10 per cent, respectively. Mr Trump's latest tirade jeopardises their progress. China hit back at the US, with its embassy in Washington saying it had been in constant contact, particularly concerned about trade controls in semiconductors and 'other related practices'. 'China once again urges the US to immediately correct its erroneous actions, cease discriminatory restrictions against China and jointly uphold the consensus reached at the high-level talks in Geneva,' embassy representative Liu Pengyu said in a statement. After stock markets closed on Friday, Mr Trump poured more fuel on the trade tensions fire by threatening to double steel and aluminium imports to 50 per cent, which he claims is another part of his strategy to protect American industry. Shortly after making that announcement at a US Steel factory in Pennsylvania, Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social that the higher levy will come into force on June 4. That capped a whirlwind week for his grand tariff plans. On Thursday, the New York-based Court of International Trade blocked his tariffs, saying he exceeded his authority. But on Friday, a federal appeals court temporarily upheld his actions. Josh Gilbert, market analyst at eToro, said that while the appeals court has allowed tariffs to stay for now, the legal battle is far from over. 'The White House is taking its case to the Supreme Court and weighing other legal options, which, to be frank, are unlikely to be quick or straightforward. This uncertainty adds yet another layer of risk for investors. 'What we're seeing is just another example of today's current market conditions and how news flow, especially from a political standpoint, is injecting volatility into markets. 'Whether you've been investing for 10 weeks or 10 years, this is a tricky market to navigate. This constant policy whiplash is beginning to leave investors sore … diversification and a clear strategy remain the best tools for navigating this policy-driven turbulence.' At the close on Wall Street on Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended 0.1 per higher, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite shed 0.3 per cent. The S&P 500 was almost flat. For the week, the S&P 500 added 1.9 per cent, the Dow gained 1.6 per cent and the Nasdaq climbed 2 per cent. Year-to-date, the S&P 500 is up 0.5 per cent, while the Dow and Nasdaq are down 0.6 per cent and 1 per cent, respectively. In London, the FTSE 100 ended more than 0.6 per cent higher, as trade remained stable despite uncertainty triggered by the latest in the tariffs saga. Paris' CAC 40 retreated 0.4 per cent, while, Frankfurt's DAX added 0.3 per cent. Earlier in Asia, stock markets reversed gains to end lower. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index were both down 1.2 per cent, while the Shanghai Composite retreated 0.5 per cent. In commodities, oil prices slipped and posted a second consecutive weekly decline as the Opec+ alliance prepares for its meeting on Saturday, where it is expected to announce its third major output increase. Brent fell 0.39 per cent to settle at $63.90 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate dropped 0.25 per cent to close at $60.79 a barrel. Gold, meanwhile, inched down at the close on Friday, as the market absorbed the tariff drama and the dollar moved higher. The precious metal, a hedge against inflation, was down nearly 1 per cent to $3,289.57 an ounce.

Hong Kong-headquartered International Mediation Body Established
HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 31 May 2025 - International mediation marked a significant milestone yesterday (May 30) with the establishment of the International Organization for Mediation (IOMed). The IOMed, with its headquarters in Hong Kong, is the world's first inter-governmental international legal organisation devoted to the use of mediation in resolving international disputes. More than 80 countries and about 20 international organisations, including the United Nations, sent senior representatives to Hong Kong to witness the Signing Ceremony of the Convention on the Establishment of the International Organization for Mediation. Member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, Wang Yi, attended the Signing Ceremony and was the first to sign the Convention on behalf of China. Altogether, 33 countries signed the Convention on-site, making them the founding members of the IOMed. Addressing the ceremony, Mr Wang said that as an innovative step in international rule of law, the IOMed has great significance in the history of international relations. The IOMed will be headquartered in Hong Kong, whose handover is itself a success story of peaceful settlement of international disputes. He added that the success of the "one country, two systems" principle has created brighter prospects for prosperity and stability in Hong Kong. Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), John Lee, thanked the Central Government for its staunch support of Hong Kong, and the international community for placing their trust and confidence in the city. "The IOMed will provide a pathway for countries – regardless of culture, language and legal system – to resolve international disputes based on mutual respect and understanding," Mr Lee said. "This is increasingly important amid mounting geopolitical tensions." Mr Lee underscored that the IOMed reflected a shared confidence in mediation as a peaceful means to maintain international peace and security, as stipulated in the Charter of the United Nations. The Chief Executive also set out Hong Kong's advantages as an effective "super connector" and "super value-adder" and said the city would actively promote the IOMed's valuable work in settling international disputes through mediation. "Despite geopolitical turbulence, Hong Kong builds bridges, not walls," Mr Lee said. "Under our unique "one country, two systems" principle, Hong Kong is the only world city that enjoys both the China advantage and the global advantage. "We are the only common law jurisdiction in China, and the only jurisdiction in the world with a bilingual common law system in both Chinese and English. We have a long tradition of the rule of law, and our courts exercise their judicial power independently." With a robust, efficient and well-respected legal system as well as world-class legal and dispute resolution services professionals, Hong Kong is also the most preferred seat for arbitration in the Asia-Pacific region. The IOMed headquarters will be located at the site of the former Wan Chai Police Station, once renovation of the Grade 2 historic building is completed. "I'm happy to say that it could open its doors as early as the end of this year," said Mr Lee. "We look forward not only to welcoming its new occupants, but also to supporting them in building new bridges for a more connected, peaceful and prosperous future through mediation." In the afternoon, the Global Forum on International Mediation discussed topics such as mediation of disputes among countries and mediation of international investment and commercial disputes and the contributions that the IOMed can make.
