    Hang Seng Indexes Company Launches Hang Seng New Consumption Index and Hang Seng Shanghai-Shenzhen-Hong Kong New Consumption Index Investable Indexes to Reflect Performances of Stocks in Traditional and Online Consumption Sectors (Hong Kong, 26 July 2021) Hang Seng Indexes Company today launched the Hang Seng New Consumption Index and Hang Seng Shanghai-Shenzhen-Hong Kong New Consumption Index. With a series of policies put forward by mainland China recently to focus on facilitating Internet+ and e-commerce, China will likely see a new growth in the consumption sector driven by these policies in the coming years. Meanwhile, the two new indexes are designed by Hang Seng Indexes Company to capture the full picture of listed companies in traditional consumption sectors (i.e., consumer discretionary and consumer staples) as well as online consumption sectors such as e-commerce, online/mobile gaming, media streaming and healthcare retail amid the shifting megatrends in consumption patterns in China. The Hang Seng New Consumption Index covers Hong Kong-listed Greater China companies; while the Hang Seng Shanghai-Shenzhen-Hong Kong New Consumption Index is a cross-market index, covering Mainland-listed A shares and Hong Kong-listed shares that are eligible for southbound trading under the Stock Connect Scheme. Daniel Wong, Director & Chief Index Officer at Hang Seng Indexes Company, said: “According to China’s National Bureau of Statistics, online retail sales amounted to RMB11.76 trillion in 2020, representing an increase of 10.9% compared with 20191, indicating that the rise of China’s technology-driven consumption brands and development of e-commerce are catalysing the transformation of China’s consumption model to weigh more on online consumption.
