    THE planned inclusion of international issuers on the Stock Connect between Hong Kong and mainland China is a “major breakthrough” and opens opportunities for companies in South-east Asia, said Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) chief executive Nicolas Aguzin.

    Speaking to reporters in Singapore on Tuesday (Nov 15), Aguzin noted that international companies listed in Hong Kong would have the opportunity to tap on both international and mainland China investors, which could be advantageous.

    The Stock Connect trading link between mainland China and Hong Kong, which launched in 2014, allows investors to trade and settle shares listed on the other market via the stock exchanges and clearing houses in their home market.
