A new arrangement will be signed soon allowing Hong Kong securities and futures professionals to obtain qualifications and practice in the Chinese mainland.
Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee Hwa said Friday the arrangement will be signed by the Securities & Futures Commission and the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
Tung said the move will better promote the cause of Hong Kong professionals in the Chinese mainland, and enhance Hong Kong's status as a logistics and support center for commerce and industry.
The Joint Steering Committee of the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement between the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong (CEPA) will also meet in mid-December to discuss the mutual recognition of professional qualifications.
