Veteran accountant with deep ties to HKEX to succeed Laura Cha who steps down after six years

- Laura Cha, also known as Shih May-lung, will step down as the Chairperson of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on April 24, 2024. She has held significant regulatory positions in both mainland China and Hong Kong for over 30 years, including Vice Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) and various roles within the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission.
- During her tenure at CSRC starting in 2001 amidst a tumultuous period for Chinese securities markets characterized by rampant malpractices like IPO frauds and market manipulation, she implemented numerous reforms including establishing legal frameworks for securities regulation which led to public censures and administrative penalties against numerous companies.
- As Chairperson of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since 2018, Cha pushed for internationalization of the exchange though faced challenges due to social movements, COVID-19 pandemic, and geopolitical conflicts. Under her leadership, despite a decline in IPOs and global ranking, she maintained efforts towards enhancing international dialogue and cooperation with other exchanges such as Saudi Arabia’s stock exchange.

- SEVVA, a rooftop bar in Prince's Building, Central, Hong Kong, popular among investment bankers for post-deal celebrations, announced it will close in May 2024. This comes as the Hang Seng Index has fallen for four consecutive years and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) IPO fundraising hit a 22-year low in 2023.
- The Hong Kong government has taken measures to revive the stock market by reducing stamp duty on stock transactions and exploring reforms such as narrowing bid-ask spreads and implementing changes to the Growth Enterprise Market (GEM). Despite these efforts, traditional Western institutional investors remain cautious about allocating funds to Hong Kong stocks due to geopolitical concerns and structural challenges within China's economy.
- Signs of a potential bottoming out in the Hong Kong stock market include record-high share buybacks by listed companies and improved liquidity. With expectations of U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2024, there is some optimism that international capital might flow back into Hong Kong stocks. However, overall sentiment remains cautious with predictions of stabilization rather than a significant rebound for the Hang Seng Index in 2024.
