中国内地与香港金融市场互通将放缓

Charles Li, chief executive of Hong Kong Exchangesand Clearing, said recent turmoil in China's equitymarket will delay future programs to connect with mainland financial markets.

香港交易所(HKEx)行政总裁李小加(Charles Li)表示，近期中国股市的动荡将令香港与中国内地金融市场互联互通计划进程放缓。

"Overall, psychologically this is not the time to talk a lot about mutual market access opening,when you have just put out a big fire, you don't want to talk about buying a new sofa anddoing a nice window dressing. You want to calm down, figure out how to clear it up and moveforward," Mr Li said.

“总的来说，从心理上讲，眼下确实不是过多谈论市场互联互通计划的时候，在刚刚扑灭大火之后，你不想谈论买一件新沙发和好好装饰门面。你想要冷静下来，想想如何扫清障碍，然后推进这个计划，李小加说。

Future connections between China and Hong Kong on derivatives will now take longer amid adebate about the role of stock index futures in the recent equity market turmoil, he added.

他补充称，考虑到人们正就股指期货在最近股市动荡中扮演的角色展开争论，中国内地和香港将需要更长时间才能实现未来在衍生品上的互联互通。

HKEx hopes to expand access to the London Metal Exchange for mainland players, whoaccount for around 25 per cent of current trading on the exchange, Li said. HKEx bought theLME for $2.2 bn in 2012. HKEx also has plans to launch a link with the Shenzhen stockexchange but no firm date has been given.
