Former Chairman of HKEX (00388.HK), Charles Li attended an event and expressed strong support for the government's proposed measure of "no suspension of trading during typhoons," as the suspension of trading during typhoons causes huge losses to the market. This measure is expected to bring Hong Kong's trading days closer to those of other international financial centers.
Li pointed out that in the past, employees were not able to trade due to traffic disruptions caused by typhoons. With the advancement of electronic trading, the "no suspension of trading during typhoons" initiative has been continuously promoted to catch up with the times and increase trading opportunities.
