US EditionShein working towards Hong Kong listing after London IPO stalls: Report
- Shein, a fast-fashion brand established in China and headquartered in Singapore, is aiming to submit its initial listing documents to the Hong Kong stock exchange in 2025 after its planned London IPO faced regulatory hurdles.
- The London IPO attempt stalled because Shein did not receive approval from Chinese regulators, particularly the China Securities Regulatory Commission, amid stricter vetting policies.
- In March, Shein received the green light from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority but has encountered delays and limited responses from Chinese regulators while waiting for their approval to proceed with the IPO.
- The US government plans to close a loophole allowing imports under $800 tax-free, and the UK is reviewing a similar £135 exemption, raising uncertainty for Shein's business model.
- Shein aims to complete its listing in Hong Kong this year, shifting strategy after the London IPO failure, which reflects broader regulatory challenges facing Chinese companies offshore.
