Following the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Shenzhen last November to deepen gold cooperation, Hong Kong signed a gold development agreement with Shanghai again last month. Zhang Dexi, Chairman of the Hong Kong Gold Exchange (HKGX), said that dozens of refineries have approached the HKGX in recent months. Some seek membership, while others aim to collaborate with members.

Zhang believed that many refineries and gold dealers will establish operations in Hong Kong. Based on current trends, he expected over ten mainland Chinese and overseas entities to set up in Hong Kong within this year.
