HKEx: no reform to placing mandate...or anything else
HKEx's decision to leave the Rules on dilutive issue mandates unchanged is an insult to investor opinion, expressed by their voting on this matter. Since the 2008 blackout saga, the Government and its regulators are unwilling to upset the local business elite with reforms. As China heads for an international currency, the tycoons are not as important to the market's future as HKEx seems to think they are. (27-Oct-2009)

Faster and quarterly financial reporting
We need your help! After trying once in 1998 and again in 2002, Hong Kong is again proposing faster financial reporting and mandatory quarterly reporting, to catch up with the rest of Asia, including mainland China, where quarterly reports have been mandatory since the start of 2003. With your support, we hope to overcome vested interests this time. Please take our opinion poll! (24-Sep-2007)

Listing Rules Review Part 4: Show us the Money
In Part 4 of our review of the proposed Listing Rule changes, we look at the proposals on financial reporting, including the long-awaited move to quarterly statements.

Suggestions from HSBC and others that the market, for its own good, shouldn't be told too much too often, are disingenuous nonsense. (28-Mar-2002)

In this paper, SEHK proposed introducing full-format interim reports, shortening the deadline for interim results to 2 months and annual results to 3 months, and asked whether quarterly reporting should be introduced.
