Cross-border equity and debt deals stand to tap Hong Kong’s deep pools of liquidity if dual-listing becomes a template for investors

A recent dual-listing at the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) in Kazakhstan has been hailed as an “icebreaker” for Kazakh and Chinese issuers who are showing growing interest in pursuing cross-border equity and debt deals.

“It was an icebreaker, paving the way for more companies both with Kazakhstani roots and Chinese companies with assets in Kazakhstan,” he said.

“Also, we are seeing interest from Chinese financial companies, [including] brokers and underwriters, in cooperation with potential Kazakhstan issuers – both in areas of equity capital and fixed income – thanks to the huge pool of liquidity in Hong Kong.”
