Investors can now pay stamp duty in RMB

It is expected to increase the RMB counter’s turnover and liquidity.

Hong Kong will now allow investors to settle both their trades and the associated stamp duty in Renminbi (RMB) at the same RMB counter.

This comes after the government welcomed the Legislative Council's passage of the Stamp Duty (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2026.

It is expected to increase the RMB counter’s turnover and liquidity, strengthening the RMB’s role as an international investment currency.
