HONG KONG (Reuters) -- Hong Kong's bourse operator reported a better-than-feared full year profit decline for 2022 as geopolitical tension curbed trading and listing activity, but its chief executive was cautious about the year ahead despite signs of a recovery.
Profit attributable to Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) last year fell 20% to $10.078 billion Hong Kong dollars ($1.28 billion), beating an average forecast of HK$9.92 billion, according to Refinitiv.
