Managing regulatory risk
As China’s regulatory action against big tech eases due to the rising economic headwinds, various regulatory developments, such as merger reforms, data and cyber-security regulations, sanctions, ESG, are increasingly keeping M&A professionals on high alert. On the listing side, the recent signing of a protocol agreement between the Public Company Accountability Board (PCAOB) and the China Securities Regulatory Commission might be the first step in preventing companies from being de-listed from US exchanges and could be a game changer for the regional IPO market. A panel of leading experts will examine key challenges ahead and effective strategies to mitigate regulatory risk.
