Staff reporter

Carlson Tong Ka-shing and Joseph Yam Chi-kwong have been reappointed to the board of directors of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (0388).

Tong is currently the HKEX chair, after taking over the role from Laura Cha Shih May-lung in 2024. Yam, the first chief executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, now serves as a member of the government's Executive Council.

The operator of the Hong Kong's stock exchange and London Metal Exchange also appointed Ding Chen, the chief executive of CSOP Asset Management and a vice chairwoman of the Financial Services Development Council, to its board.

Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po said Ding's deep understanding of the securities market and wide connections with market participants would help the diverse development of HKEX and enhance the city's role as a global financing hub.

The reappointments and appointment will take effect after HKEX's 2025 annual general meeting, for a term of two years.

Nisa Leung Wing-yu will retire from the board.
