No delay to Hong Kong’s plan to allow stock market to stay open in typhoons, treasury secretary says

Hong Kong’s financial services secretary, Christopher Hui Ching-yu, has denied reports that a major stock market reform that would see trading continue as normal during typhoons and torrential rains has been delayed.

“There is no postponement, as we have always had a clear timeline to implement the reform for keeping the markets open during severe weather,” said Hui, the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, on the sidelines of a private equity conference on Monday.
