HONG KONG: HKEX to Introduce Issuer Access Platform

Friday July 25 2025

On 25^th July 2025, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) announced the introduction of the HKEX Issuer Access Platform (HKEX IAP), a new web-based service designed to refine interaction and communication between listed issuers and HKEX, supporting the ongoing modernisation of Hong Kong’s market infrastructure.

Upon its official launch in 2026, HKEX IAP will become the primary communication channel between listed issuers and HKEX.

Using a modern and intuitive interface, HKEX IAP will have smart compliance tools such as dashboards, workflow trackers, guides, and automated reminders to support listed issuers’ fulfilment of their day-to-day compliance and reporting requirements.

Following the introduction of HKEX IAP, a re-designed, dedicated portal will be available on HKEX’s website. This portal will consolidate issuer information, such as executives’ details, corporate events and other important dates. Investors will be able to access this information, in real-time, upon the update, by issuers, of their details in HKEX IAP, further enhancing market transparency and accessibility.

HKEX will release a trial version of HKEX IAP in the second half of 2025, allowing users to familiarise themselves with its functionalities. Onboarding and user registration guidelines will be published in late 2025, at the earliest. Listed issuers will be able to start using the platform for document submission and communication with HKEX in phases, beginning in the second quarter of 2026.
