The Hong Kong Stock Exchange
is the stock exchange of Hong Kong.
With a total market capitalization of over US$1.87 trillion as of May 2007, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange ranks seventh in the world by market capitalization of listed companies (see List of stock exchanges for complete rankings). Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing is the holding company for the exchange.
The history of the securities exchange began formally in the late 19th century with the first establishment in 1891, though informal securities exchanges have been known to take place since 1861. The exchange has predominantly been the main exchange for Hong Kong despite co-existing with other exchanges at different point in time. After a series of complex mergers and acquisitions, HKSE remains to be the core. From 1947 to 1969 the exchange monopolized the market. Computers were integrated on April 2, 1986, which has helped modernize the system. In 1993 the exchange launched the "Automatic Order Matching and Execution System" (AMS) that was replaced by the third generation system (AMS/3) in October 2000. Systems as such were added to meet the increased popularity of online Stock trading.
