In the interests of transparency and debate, Webb-site.com is publishing its submission to the Expert Group to Review the Operation of the Securities and Futures Market Regulatory Structure. The three-man group has the opportunity to recommend far-reaching reforms.

Expert Group Submission
25 November 2002

Here's something for our more technical readers - our submission to the quaintly named Expert Group to Review the Operation of the Securities and Futures Market Regulatory Structure (in Hong Kong) - let's just call it the Expert Group.

Click here to download the public version of our submission, which is complete except for one section which contains information obtained during your editor's service on the SFC Shareholders Group, and as such is restricted by Section 59 of the SFC Ordinance.

If you are wondering what this is all about, one of the recommendations of the PIPSI Report of the Panel of Inquiry into the Penny Stocks Incident was that the regulatory structure be reviewed, so the Financial Secretary on 26-Sep-02 announced the appointment of the three-man Expert Group with a six-month mandate to review the system. On 9-Oct-02, the Expert Group held a press conference and issued a press release inviting submissions. You can also watch the video of the press conference and read the Chairman's opening statement.
