HONG KONG: The Hong Kong stock exchange said on Wednesday it has agreed with China's mainland stock exchanges to work towards the inclusion of weighted voting right companies in the stock connect scheme that links mainland exchanges with the Asian financial hub.
The announcement came after China's stock exchanges said on Saturday they would not expand their stock connect scheme with Hong Kong to foreign firms, companies with different voting right structures and so-called "stapled" securities.
