Hong Kong should make it easier for the securities of Taiwanese-listed companies to be traded on the local stock market, says Vincent Lee Kwan-ho, one of five candidates contesting the functional constituency seat for the financial services sector.

“A key issue for the market is a lack of new listings and low turnover. The exchange can introduce measures to make it easier for the Taiwanese-listed companies to trade in Hong Kong via the form of depositary receipts,” Lee told the South China Morning Post.
