| Hong Kong Exchange Approves Jersey Corporate Listings |
by Phillip Morton, Investors Offshore.com
Wednesday, October 14, 2009
Jersey companies have been approved for listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
The move is a significant development for Jersey’s finance industry, which
is seeking to increase business flows from the Asia Pacific region, and its confirmation
comes only days before a delegation from Jersey undertakes its latest visit to
the region.
The formal inclusion of Jersey companies on the Hong Kong Exchange’s
approved list is the result of more
than a year’s negotiation, research and document preparation involving
government officials in Jersey, representatives from Jersey Finance, and the
finance industry.
The approval enables Jersey’s finance industry to compete on an equal
footing with other competitor jurisdictions, which have been established longer
in Asia. Jersey has achieved this recognition ahead of some of its closest competitors,
including Guernsey and the Isle of Man.
Robert Kirkby, Technical Director of Jersey Finance, commented: “Gaining access to a major capital market such as Hong Kong is further
excellent news for Jersey and is a step forward in our ability to attract new
business from the region. The move by the Exchange authorities adds weight to
Jersey’s reputation as a rigorously supervised, highly regarded jurisdiction
and also demonstrates how the market in Asia views the quality and robustness
of Jersey company law. Moreover it gives further impetus to the formal opening
of our second overseas office in Hong Kong later this month and is very welcome
news.”
“Especially with China anticipated to become the world’s most powerful
economy and as Hong Kong is already such an important financial center, the
listing approval for the Hong Kong Exchange is timely and will support our efforts
to develop commercial links with the region.”
The Jersey delegation will begin its week-long visit to Singapore, Hong Kong
and mainland China on October 15.
