Risk Warning on Trading HK Stocks
Despite Hong Kong's robust legal and regulatory framework, its stock market still faces unique risks and challenges, such as currency fluctuations due to the Hong Kong dollar's peg to the US dollar and the impact of mainland China's policy changes and economic conditions on Hong Kong stocks.
HK Stock Trading Fees and Taxation
Trading costs in the Hong Kong stock market include transaction fees, stamp duty, settlement charges, and currency conversion fees for foreign investors. Additionally, taxes may apply based on local regulations.
HK Non-Essential Consumer Goods Industry
The Hong Kong stock market encompasses non-essential consumption sectors like automotive, education, tourism, catering, and apparel. Of the 643 listed companies, 35% are mainland Chinese, making up 65% of the total market capitalization. Thus, it's heavily influenced by the Chinese economy.
HK Real Estate Industry
In recent years, the real estate and construction sector's share in the Hong Kong stock index has notably decreased. Nevertheless, as of 2022, it retains around 10% market share, covering real estate development, construction engineering, investment, and property management.

Artificial intelligence (AI) raises an acute set of challenges with respect to export control.
South Korean customers of cryptocurrency exchanges will have a new ally in the Digital Asset User Protection Foundation, which is being set up to ease the return of funds stuck in defunct exchanges.
South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) approved an initiative by the self-regulatory Digital Asset Exchange Joint Consultative Group (DAXA) to create the foundation. The foundation may begin activities in October.
The FSC stated that 10 of the 22 cryptocurrency exchanges in South Korea have closed and another three have suspended operations, leading to concerns about the return of users’ funds held by the nonfunctioning exchanges.
The safety of customers’ funds in the hands of the exchanges is also a concern as the “private keys to users’ virtual asset wallets are stored at these exchange service providers.” Therefore:
“To make sure that users’ assets are safely protected and properly returned to their owners, it is necessary to have a more systematic management mechanism along with voluntary efforts from those closed down exchange service providers.”
The Digital Asset User Protection Foundation will consult with the exchanges, after which users’ funds and virtual assets will be transferred to the foundation. From there, a bank will be chosen to hold users’ cash, and a “KRW-based [South Korean won-based] exchange service provider” — presumably one of the still functional crypto exchanges — will store and manage their virtual assets.
The foundation will then contact the users to inform them of the return process.
The Digital Asset User Protection Foundation will have an operating committee made up of representatives of the bank and exchange that will handle the cash and virtual assets, several government agencies and private sector experts. The government will back the foundation:
“Financial authorities plan to provide relevant support to facilitate consultation […] regarding the matter of transfer of users’ assets.”
For exchanges that cease operations in the future, “authorities will guide them accordingly to transfer their customers’ assets to the foundation.”
South Korea enacted the Virtual Asset User Protection Act on July 19. Among the requirements of the act are that exchanges keep customer deposits in banks and keep customer virtual assets separate from their own.
Global debt hit a record high of US$312 trillion (RM1.3 quadrillion) at the end of the second quarter, driven by borrowing in the United States and China, while a key debt ratio in emerging markets also scaled a fresh peak, data from a banking trade group showed.
The Institute of International Finance (IIF), a financial services trade group, said that global debt rose by US$2.1 trillion in the first half to US$312 trillion — a new high point after previous data was revised lower.
The IIF flashed warning signs on the trend of ever-increasing government borrowing in its latest Global Debt Monitor report, forecasting global government borrowing would rise from its current level of US$92 trillion to US$145 trillion by 2030 and top US$440 trillion by 2050.
"With the Fed’s new easing cycle expected to accelerate the pace of global debt buildup, a significant concern is the apparent lack of political will to address rising sovereign debt levels in both mature and emerging market economies," the IIF report said.
A big chunk of the borrowing was driven by energy transition in the face of climate change which was expected to account for over a third of the projected rise by 2050.
"This poses significant challenges, as many governments are already allocating a growing share of their revenue to interest expenses," the report said.
The US$2.1 trillion increase this year through June compares to US$8.4 trillion in the first half of 2023, IIF data showed.
Apart from China and the US, India, Russia and Sweden also increased their debt, while other European countries and Japan saw a notable decline, the report said.
The global debt-to-GDP ratio — an indicator on the ability to repay debt by comparing to what is being produced — has stabilised around 327%-328%, with output numbers partly buoyed by above-target inflation in major economies.
In developed markets, that ratio reached its lowest level since 2018 driven by declines in household and non-financial corporate sectors borrowing.
In contrast, emerging markets saw their debt ratio reach a new high of over 245% of output, more than 25 percentage points higher than before the Covid-related lockdowns.
