[Paul Chan: Hong Kong's IPO fundraising continues to rank first globally this year] According to Golden Finance, on April 26, Hong Kong SAR Government Financial Secretary Paul Chan stated today (26th) that building on last year's strong performance, Hong Kong's IPO fundraising has continued to rank first globally this year. As of last week, Hong Kong's IPO fundraising has exceeded HK$140 billion; since March, the average daily trading volume of Hong Kong stocks has surpassed HK$280 billion. These developments demonstrate that despite external uncertainties, the growth of Hong Kong's financial market remains unstoppable. Paul Chan pointed out that the mainland's May Day Golden Week is approaching, and the SAR Government's Immigration Department estimates that approximately 980,000 mainland visitors will travel to Hong Kong during the holiday period, an increase of about 7% compared to the same period last year. The SAR Government will ensure adequate support measures and manage crowd flows at popular attractions, aiming to provide a better experience for visitors while continuing to benefit industries such as dining and retail.
