    Question What do bankers and finance professionals read?

    Apart from the WSJ, FT and the other global financial publications, what do HK bankers and other people working in finance read? Are there any local publications - english and chinese - that are popular?

    Try The Asset, FinanceAsia, Asiamoney, Asia Asset Management or AsianInvestor.
    you can get most of these for free. Some people do pay for them though.

    As far as newspapers are concerned, nothing beats The Standard in my view. Granted, there isn't much of a competition, when it comes to local English language newspapers.

    While on the topic, can anyone recommend an English news, analysis and commentary on the local stock market? Magazines, or online resources would be great. Thanks.
