Downturn hits mainland investment scheme
09-12-2008
The chairman of Hong Kong Exchanges, Ronald Arculli, says he's ready to implement the scheme allowing mainland investors to buy local shares, but mainland market conditions could complicate its introduction. Mr Arculli was reacting to remarks by the Financial Secretary John Tsang, that the so-called "through-train" policy was still being worked on. Mr Arculli said Hong Kong Exchanges had already completed its work.
