Hong Kong: HKEX review of listed issuers' corporate governance practice disclosures

HKEX has published the latest edition of its review of listed issuers' corporate governance practice disclosures: see here (pdf). The review surveyed 400 randomly selected issuers, exploring the extent of compliance with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code. It is interesting to see that the provision of the Code with the lowest compliance rate - 64% - was A.2.1 which provides that the roles of chairman and chief executive should not be held by the same person.
