Inception of the Chinese Gold and Silver Exchange Society dates back to 1910 when we began operation as the “Gold and Silver Exchange Company”. In 1918, the Exchange formally registered in the name of the Chinese Gold and Silver Exchange Society. About a century ago, there were only odd lot gold and silver trading in the territory. Small scale banking counters appeared later, which gradually led to the emergence of bank houses and modern banks. The Exchange was established in wake of the thriving development of Hong Kong’s banking industry. Members of the post-war management were founders of leading Chinese banks in Hong Kong.
