The Bosera GuoXin Hong Kong Stock Connect Central State-owned Enterprises Dividend Index ETF (03437.HK) has been listed in Hong Kong. The Secretary for Financial Affairs and Treasury, Mr. Christopher Hui, stated that as Hong Kong's first ETF product focused on central state-owned enterprises, it is significant for Hong Kong and symbolizes the contribution of Hong Kong to connecting central and state-owned enterprises with international capital, and marks another milestone in promoting linkage between domestic and overseas markets. He hopes to continue guiding more international funds and industrial resources to invest in quality Hong Kong listed companies of central state-owned enterprises through Hong Kong's international financing platform, and help promote their high-quality development.

He stated in a video speech at the listing ceremony that as the nation's international financial center, Hong Kong has a mature capital market and has always provided high-quality financing and investment platforms and services for mainland companies, including central and state-owned enterprises. With the vigorous development of emerging industries in the mainland, the demand for overseas listings by enterprises is urgent. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange has implemented a series of listing system reforms since 2018, and has implemented a specialized technology company listing system in March this year to facilitate innovative enterprises to contact international capital, broaden the listing channels for issuers including state-owned enterprises, and promote the development of specialized and novel enterprises.

Since the listing reform in 2018, a total of 98 companies have been listed through the relevant channels, with a total fundraising amount of over 590 billion yuan, and more than 90% of these were mainland companies, fully demonstrating Hong Kong's role as a bridgehead for foreign investment to enter the mainland. As of June this year, a total of 1,460 mainland companies have been listed in Hong Kong, accounting for more than half of the total number of listed companies in Hong Kong. Their market capitalization represents almost 80% of the total market capitalization in Hong Kong.
