香港和马来西亚的证券监管机构周三宣布推出简化程序，允许企业提交一份申请，即可在两地交易所上市。
Securities regulators in Hong Kong and Malaysia on Wednesday unveiled simplified procedures allowing companies to submit a single application to list on both exchanges.
香港证券及期货事务监察委员会（证监会）与马来西亚证券委员会分别宣布推出一项单一提交安排，以简化同步上市流程，并正式落实两家监管机构于7月签署的谅解备忘录中提出的双重首次公开招股（IPO）上市框架。
The Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong (SFC) and the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) announced separately a single-submission arrangement to streamline simultaneous listings, bringing into operation a dual IPO listing framework outlined in a memorandum of understanding signed by the two regulators in July.
根据该安排，拟在香港或马来西亚主板进行主要上市、同时在另一市场进行第二上市的企业，只需“提交一份上市申请和一份上市文件”。
Under the arrangement, companies seeking a primary listing on Hong Kong‘s or Malaysia‘s main board stock exchange, along with a simultaneous secondary listing on the other market, need to submit “only a single listing application submission with a single listing document”.
两家监管机构均已成立专门的双重上市审核团队，并将与香港联交所主板协调审核流程，以统一审核时间表、减少重复工作并简化向申请人提出的查询。
Both regulators have established dedicated dual-listing review teams and will coordinate review processes, together with the main board of the Hong Kong stock exchange, to align timelines, minimise duplication and streamline queries to applicants.
马来西亚证券委员会主席Mohammad Faiz Azmi表示，此举将提高企业跨境融资机会的可及性，触达更广泛的投资者，并进一步增强两地市场作为投资目的地的吸引力。
The initiative will enhance access to cross-border fundraising opportunities and broaden investor reach and further strengthen the attractiveness of both markets as investment destinations, said SC chairman Mohammad Faiz Azmi.
香港证监会行政总裁Julia Leung表示：“及时落实这项具有里程碑意义的谅解备忘录，具体体现了双方深化区域资本市场互联互通、实现互利共赢的共同愿景。”
“This timely follow-up to our landmark MoU crystallises our shared vision to deepen regional capital market connectivity for mutual prosperity,” said Ms Julia Leung, Chief Executive Officer of the SFC.
该框架推出于新加坡宣布简化新加坡交易所与纳斯达克双重上市计划近一年之后。
The framework comes nearly a year after Singapore announced plans to make SGX-Nasdaq dual listings easier.
