HONG KONG -- An investment channel linking the stock exchanges in Shenzhen and Hong Kong is slated to open in the coming months, nearly two years after the launch of a similar link between Shanghai and Hong Kong.
China's State Council gave the nod to the long-awaited Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect program on Tuesday. In a notice posted on a government website, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said that preparatory work had been completed.
