Infrastructure developers seek Hong Kong listings

More infrastructure developers are expected to seek listings in Hong Kong and regulators will revise rules to ensure quality and improve the chances of successful initial public offerings, experts said.

Eddie Wong, capital markets services partner at PwC Hong Kong, said new regulations by the Securities and Futures Commission were designed to reduce risk and improve the quality and listing potential for the infrastructure companies, and to protect the market.

Wong said they have seen more infrastructure project companies interested in listing in Hong Kong which had turned to them for listing inquires in the past three years.
