Changes in HKEX framework aligns Hong Kong with international markets

HKEX has eased IPO public float requirements and reformed the IPO price discovery process.

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) has eased IPO public float requirements and reformed the IPO price discovery process, which Linklaters said better aligns Hong Kong with practices in other international markets.

Effective 4 August 2025, a new free float requirement now applies to all new primary listings, adhering to the principle of ensuring sufficient liquidity in newly listed shares.

It establishes a minimum ‘pool’ of shares that are not subject to lock-up restrictions and are available for trading at the time of listing.
