The Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, Mr Chan Mao-po, published the Secretary General's essay on the HKSAR Government website saying that in the fourth quarter of 2024, the overall market atmosphere improved markedly. The Hang Seng Index rose to a high level of about two and a half years. Over the past 15 trading days, the cumulative increase was more than 5,600 points, an increase of 33%. The average daily turnover from September to this Friday was approximately HK$192 billion, double the average daily turnover in August. The Hong Kong stock market value also rose to HK$39.4 trillion. The performance of some investment products with a high share of Hong Kong shares has also soared. Taking MPF investment as an example, some research institutes report that the outstanding performance of Hong Kong stocks in September brought the overall return of MPF to more than 7% in the third quarter, which was the best performing quarter in the past two years. It can be expected that the recovery in market conditions and investors' cautious optimism about the future market will push many companies to speed up the process of listing in Hong Kong, including many innovation and technology companies; at the same time, it will also encourage more companies to settle in Hong Kong.
