To ensure Hong Kong markets remain competitive internationally, the SFC
participated in formulating a proposal to maintain normal market trading and other
operations under severe weather, which Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited
(HKEX) will put into effect in late September. It has also been working closely with
HKEX to strengthen the listing market through the introduction of treasury shares
regime and review of the corporate governance framework.
On investor protection and combatting misconduct, the SFC secured the
conviction of three individuals involved in a highly sophisticated market manipulation
scheme following a landmark High Court jury trial. Also, the regulator disciplined
five individuals in the quarter, suspending their licences or prohibiting them from
entering the industry for seven months to four years. To keep the public scam-savvy
and caution investors against suspicious activities, the SFC added nine entities as well
as four investment products onto its alert lists last quarter. It also launched a TV
commercial and radio advertising campaign to raise anti-investment scam awareness
and joined other local financial regulators in April to support the Anti-Scam
Consumer Protection Charter 2.0 to assist the public in guarding against investment
scams and digital frauds.
