HONG KONG -- Didi Global announced on Friday that it has begun the process of delisting its shares from the New York Stock Exchange and preparing for a Hong Kong listing in a dramatic retreat from its $4.4 billion U.S. initial public offering just six months earlier.

The decision was made after "careful consideration," the ride-hailing platform said in the Chinese version of its statement posted on the Weibo social network.
