HK's SFC To Review Regulations

by Mary Swire, for LawAndTax-News.com, Hong Kong

10 April 2008

Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission is reviewing its regulations and processes to reduce red tape and bureaucracy, its chairman Eddy Fong has announced.

Speaking at an Institute of Directors luncheon on Wednesday, Mr Fong argued that Hong Kong must remain vigilant in identifying areas where it is not competitive. As such, the commission will deregulate rules, processes or regulations which create structural barriers to efficiency and competition.

Mr Fong added it is also necessary for the commission to tighten regulation to close any loopholes resulting from the changing environment.

He concluded by calling on directors to instil a culture of discipline and integrity in their organisations, in order to contribute to the continued success of Hong Kong's financial markets.
