China expert not a requirement for next LME chief

The replacement being sought for the outgoing London Metal Exchange (LME) chief executive Martin Abbott does not need to be a China expert, say sources at Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing.

Abbott resigned last week and will leave at the end of this year, and an HKEx source said the bourse has appointed headhunting firm Spencer Stuart to conduct a search for a successor.
