Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) will roll out the uncertificated securities market regime in early 2026 as planned following legislative approval and pending market readiness.
The five-year implementation plan will involve issuers from Hong Kong, mainland China, Bermuda, and the Cayman Islands.
The securities watchdog is working with the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKG:0388) and the Federation of Share Registrars on the five-year plan.
