Hong
Kong shares tumbled more than 2 percent on Wednesday led by energy
firms as oil prices declined and insurance heavyweights, after Beijing
imposed limits on purchases of insurance products in the city by
mainlanders using bank cards.
The Hang Seng Index fell 2.3 percent, to 18,991.59, while the China Enterprises Index lost 2.5 percent, to 7,858.31 points.
In
its latest move to curb outflows, China was putting a limit on
purchases of insurance products in Hong Kong using the country's
ubiquitous UnionPay credit and debit cards, two sources told Reuters on
Wednesday.
The news hit Hong Kong-listed insurers including index heavyweight AIA.
