Hong Kong can become M&A hub for mainland companies expanding overseas, says former regulatory head

Strong capital markets, the rule of law and a large pool of English-speaking financial professionals make Hong Kong an ideal platform for mainland Chinese companies to conduct mergers and acquisitions overseas, says Anthony Neoh. The former chairman of the Securities and Futures Commission from 1995-1998 made his remarks to the Post in an interview, ahead of the 25th anniversary of the city’s return to the mainland on July 1, 2022.
