Maintaining standards

Martin Wheatley, chairman of Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), is responsible for overseeing and steering regulation governing Hong Kong's securities and future markets. Previously at the London Stock Exchange, he also sat on the listing authority advisory committee at London's overarching regulatory agency, the Financial Services Authority (FSA). He took the time to sit down with Asiamoney to discuss the future of Hong Kong's regulations, real estate investment trusts and the need for a single, FSA-style regulatory body.
