The newly launched HKD-RMB Dual Counter Model will see 24 companies let investors trade in RMB. Hong Kong SAR Secretary of Financial Services and the Treasury Christopher Hui Ching-yu explains the next step is to connect RMB counters in HKEX with the Southbound Stock Connect, thereby letting investors on the mainland directly purchase and sell stocks on our market. This will further increase the internationalization of the RMB and the role of Hong Kong SAR in achieving this goal.
