North & Southbound Stock Connect Trading Days Announcement in August 2022
12th Aug 2022 – Joint announcement of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission
To enhance mutual access between the Mainland and Hong Kong stock markets, the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Securities and Futures Commission have approved, in principle, adjustments to the trading calendar for Stock Connect.
The Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE), Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) and Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (SEHK) will concurrently allow Stock Connect trading on all the days which are trading days in both markets but on which Stock Connect trading is now closed because clearing services are unavailable. The China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation Limited (CSDC) and Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited (HKSCC) will make corresponding adjustments to settlement arrangements and related business practices on the additional trading days, including corporate actions and setting record dates for eligible shares under Stock Connect.
The stock exchanges and clearing houses in both the Mainland and Hong Kong will adopt risk management measures, amend operational rules, obtain regulatory approvals and urge market participants to proceed with preparations including configuring and adapting their technical systems and launching investor education programmes.
It should take six months from the date of this joint announcement to complete the preparations for the implementation of the adjustments. A separate announcement will be made with respect to the formal commencement date.
