Secretary for Financial Services & the Treasury Christopher Hui today expressed his gratitude to various listed issuers in Hong Kong for their support to the proposal of setting up a renminbi (RMB) stock trading counter.   Mr Hui stated that further to the help rendered by the Legislative Council Panel on Financial Affairs regarding the Government's proposed measures to promote the issuance and trading of RMB stocks in Hong Kong and enhance the trading mechanism, a number of listed issuers have also backed the proposal.   Such listed issuers will actively explore the feasibility of setting up a new RMB trading counter for their issued shares.   Mr Hui explained that listed issuers who indicated their support today include Hang Seng Index constituent stocks with promising turnover.   “Their participation is a vote of confidence to the development of RMB securities in Hong Kong, which will be conducive to our promotion work to other issuers, enabling Hong Kong to graduall

523 COVID-19 cases recorded

The Centre for Health Protection today said it is investigating 523 additional COVID-19 cases, of which 252 were detected by nucleic acid tests and 271 were identified via rapid antigen tests.   Among the new cases, 13 are imported while the rest are locally infected.   A total of 1,188,800 people have contracted the virus since the onset of the fifth wave of the epidemic, involving 9,023 deaths.   Meanwhile, the Government made a restriction-testing declaration to cover Blocks 2 and 3 of Bel Air Heights in Diamond Hill, requiring people in the restricted area to undergo compulsory testing before the specified deadline.   Given that there were positive sewage test results with relatively high viral loads in several areas of Tuen Mun, the respective district offices will distribute COVID-19 rapid test kits to relevant residents as well as cleaning workers and property management staff working in those areas.   For information and health advice on COVID-19, visit the Government's dedicated webpage.
