  • On March 1, 1947, "Hong Kong Stock Exchange" and "Hong Kong Securities Brokers Association" merged and renamed "Hong Kong Stock Exchange Limited", commonly known as "Hong Kong Association".

At that time, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was mainly managed by the British, and the vast majority of Hong Kong stock transactions took place in Hong Kong.

However, the development of the Hong Kong stock market was still low at that time. According to the Hong Kong Association, there were only 59 listed companies in 1968, of which 16 were Chinese, 37 were British, and the rest were owned by Indians or Jews.

From the perspective of market trend, the Hong Kong stock market fluctuated greatly from 1940 to 1960.

In 1946, when the War of Liberation broke out, a large number of Shanghai businessmen went to Hong Kong. With this part of foreign capital inflows, the Hong Kong stock market was once more active.

In 1949, when the War of Liberation ended and the Kuomintang government moved to Taiwan, many businessmen and funds moved eastward, and the activity of the Hong Kong stock market shrank.

After 1950, the local industrial development in Hong Kong has gradually started. With the entry of a large amount of foreign capital, the return on investment in the Hong Kong stock market at this stage is close to the level of the western developed countries in the same period.

2. during the period of the "four meetings", the Hong Kong stock market gradually matured (1969-1986)

On November 24, 1969, Hong Kong Hang Seng Bank launched the Hang Seng Index.To present the overall situation of the Hong Kong stock market and become an important weather vane reflecting Hong Kong's economy.

At the end of 1960sThe real economy of Hong Kong is booming, and the financing demand of the industrial and commercial sector is booming. However, due to the stringent requirements for the listing of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing at that timeA large number of Chinese enterprises are unable to raise funds through listing.

Against this background, in 1969, Li Zhaofu and others established the far East Stock Exchange Co., Ltd., commonly known as "far East Stock Exchange Co., Ltd."The far East Society

In 1971, the "Gold and Silver Stock Exchange Co., Ltd.", commonly known as "Gold and Silver Stock Exchange Co., Ltd." was established at the initiative of the Board of Supervisors of Gold and Silver Trade.Gold and Silver ClubOfficially opened.

In 1972, the Kowloon Stock Exchange Limited was established, commonly known as"Kowloon Club"However, due to its late establishment and the small size of listed enterprises, the Kowloon Club is the smallest.

In 1973, the Hong Kong government passed the Stock Exchange Control Ordinance 1973. Since then, the number of stock exchanges has been regulated, and the Hong Kong stock market has been formed."four societies stand together"The situation.

During the formation of the four-session pattern, the Hong Kong stock market became more and more active. The Hang Seng Index rose from 341points at the end of 1971 to 1774 points on March 9, 1973, a rise of more than four times.

In 1974, the Hong Kong government promulgated the Securities Ordinance 1974 and the Protection of investors Ordinance 1974 to improve capital market systems such as laws and regulations. laws and regulations such as the Code on Takeovers and mergers, the Securities (listing of Stock exchanges) rules 1976, and the Stock Exchange merger regulations have been issued one after another.

With the gradual improvement of the system and the promotion of the economy, the Hong Kong stock market gradually prospered. In 1981, the Hang Seng Index rebounded to 1820, a new all-time high.

Since then, as the Sino-British negotiations on the sovereignty of Hong Kong have reached an impasse, the Hong Kong dollar has depreciated sharply and the Hong Kong stock market has weakened again.

III. Unification of the Stock Exchange (1986-2000)

On April 2, 1986, the above-mentioned "four institutes" were merged to formThe Stock Exchange of Hong Kong(THE STOCK EXCHANGE

After several years of adjustment, the Hang Seng Index began a nearly 10-year bull market in 1991, rising from 3,000 to 17000 in 1999.

During this bull market, the Hong Kong stock market also experienced some adjustments, such as the structural adjustment of the Hong Kong property market and Hang Seng Index constituent stocks in 1994, the Asian financial crisis in 1997, and so on.
