MTR's Role in Promoting Hong Kong
as
an International Financial Centre

 

MTR's partial privatisation in October 2000 and subsequent inclusion in the Hang Seng Index (which represents Hong Kong's 33 blue chip companies), MSCI and FTSE Index series has brought additional quality and diversity to Hong Kong's equity capital market. As of 31 December 2001, MTR was ranked number 13 in terms of market capitalisation and number 22 in terms of turnover. Our ongoing borrowing needs for our capital expenditure programme were met by using a number of cost effective transactions involving different financial instruments and markets. We managed our debt portfolio prudently in accordance with our Preferred Financing Model which diversifies risk through different specifications. MTR continues to be active in raising corporate governance and transparency standards in Hong Kong and more widely in Asia through our excellent relations with investors.
