'We don't think Hong Kong is losing out at all'

摘要

Hong Kong-headquartered Hutchison Whampoa Limited's (HWL) planned flotation of its Hong Kong and Shenzhen container terminal businesses in a $6Bn trust listing in Singapore has set markets buzzing. Such a listing would dwarf the record $3.1Bn flotation of Singapore Telecoms in 1993. In an application to the Singapore Stock Exchange by Hutchison Port Holdings Management (part of the HWL Group), Hutchison Port Holdings Trust (HPH Trust) would be established as a new publicly-traded entity. The trust would hold, operate and develop all of the group's existing and future deepwater container port businesses in Hong Kong, Macau and Guangdong province in mainland China.
