People familiar with the matter reported that the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is studying adding a new section to the listing rules to merge GEM and the Main Board. It is proposed to add Chapter 18D as the main content of the second phase of the listing system review. The plan will be subject to public consultation before the end of the year. The GEM did not perform well; merger was an option.
