Number of listed enterprises from mainland China at HKEX in Hong Kong 2015-2023
In 2023, the number of companies from mainland China listed on the Hong Kong Exchange amounted to 1,447. The financial market in mainland China is very restrictive and only gives limited access to overseas investors. In contrast, listing companies on American stock exchanges is not easy for mainland Chinese companies. Thus, the Hong Kong Exchange constitutes a practical compromise for many companies between proximity to the mainland China and access to global capital.
