• About 6.4 per cent of mainland China-listed firms had female CEOs last year, and 26.3 per cent had female CFOs, above the global average, MSCI index shows
• In Hong Kong, women accounted for 13.5 per cent of board directors, ahead of a new rule that gives firms three years to put at least one woman on their boards
