Hong Kong’s securities regulator has announced that its current chief executive officer will stay in office for another term.
The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has appointed current CEO Julia Leung to a further two-year term, according to a statement, effective 1 January 2026. Leung was first named to the role on 1 January 2023 and her current term concludes on 31 December 2025.
