Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEx), Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock Exchange jointly announced the introduction of the China Stock Markets Web Monday in Hong Kong.

China Stock Markets Web, integrated in the existing websites of the three participants, contains information on the securities markets in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Shenzhen and the companies listed in the three cities.

The web, offering Chinese and English interfaces, is designed to provide a convenient service to satisfy investors' growing demand for information on the three markets. The introduction of the web is a step of realizing the May agreement between the three bourses on the mutual exchange of securities market and listed company data.

China Stock Markets Web comprises five main sections: listed companies' announcements, listed companies' annual, interim and quarterly reports, information on listed companies, share prices from the three markets and major indices from the three markets.

As data of the three securities markets are directly provided by the three exchanges on a single platform, the web represents a reliable and convenient source of market information to investors.

In addition to stock transaction data of the three exchanges, information about share capital data, share bonuses and majority shareholders are available. To help investors' decision making, the web contains listed companies' finance data and comparisons of the latest trading data of a company's A and H shares.
