HONG KONG -- Nicolas Aguzin, CEO of the Hong Kong Exchange, is leaving his position on Thursday with a solid result in his wake -- but a low mark from the stock market. 

The exchange announced on Thursday that its "revenue and other income" for 2023 was 20.51 billion Hong Kong dollars ($2.62 billion) and its net profit was HK$11.86 billion -- up by 11% and 18% respectively from the previous year.
