Description
The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (The Exchange) reviews the corporate governance framework from time to time to ensure that it remains fit for purpose, continues to promote improvement in the quality of governance, and is adequate for maintaining investors’ confidence in the market. The latest Corporate Governance Code (CG Code) enhancement published on 10 December 2021 had generally taken effect on 1 January 2022. Appendix number of the CG Code had been renamed from Appendix 14 to Appendix C1 effective 31 December 2023.
