The Hong Kong Stock Exchange has confirmed that it will implement all the proposals to expand its paperless listing regime, which received majority support from respondents in a recent consultation. The changes include mandatory electronic submission of documents and simplified appendices to the Listing Rules, among other amendments. The Exchange plans to implement most of the new requirements on 31 December 2023, with transitional arrangements for some issuers. This move is in line with HKEX’s commitment to sustainability and modernisation of communication channels between issuers, investors, and other participants.
