The New York office opening follows an announcement in March about HKEX's plans to launch a London office in the first half of 2023. HKEX also has offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Singapore.
«The opening of our New York office is a great cause for celebration, as we bring the Hong Kong and HKEX story to North America,» said HKEX CEO Nicolas Aguzin during an opening ceremony for the New York office, alongside co-head of sales and marketing Kevin Rideout.
«This new office will better connect two of the most important financial centers in the world, and – together with our recently announced London office – will further connect international capital with exciting opportunities in Asia.»
