Hong Kong Stock Connect

Hong Kong Stock Connect is a program that allows investors in mainland China and overseas to buy and sell stocks listed on each other’s markets through a streamlined access point. Launched in 2014, it facilitates cross-border trading by enabling investors to use their local brokerages to invest directly in Hong Kong or Chinese stocks, promoting greater market integration. The system is regulated to manage risks and ensure transparency, making it easier for investors to diversify their portfolios across both markets while maintaining controls to safeguard financial stability.
