Market Chatter: HKEX to Consult on Board Lot Size Adjustment by Year-End

MT Newswires Live

Aug 21

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKG:0388, HKG:80388) will launch a market consultation on adjusting the board lot size for trading Hong Kong stocks before the end of the year, The Standard reported Wednesday, citing Chief Executive Bonnie Chan Yi-ting.

Chan reportedly noted that issuers currently have broad flexibility in setting lot sizes, which can be adjusted without major complexity.

According to the report, HKEX said there are about 40 different lot sizes in the market, and moving toward a single standard would require extensive research and industry consensus, including input from custodial banks and other stakeholders.
