CMB Wing Lung Reviews Mainland Investors’ Zero-Balance Accounts

This is a compliance-driven cleanup rather than a market event: the bank is targeting dormant, non-initiative accounts, not active positions, so the immediate read-through for mainland investors' exposure is limited. The significance lies in the declaration requirement — account status now hinges on paperwork rather than trading activity, which raises the operational bar for cross-border participation. Whether other institutions adopt similar reviews of inactive accounts is the open question worth watching.
