HONG KONG (Reuters) - Jack Ma, chairman of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding , said on Monday he hoped the company's financial affiliate would list in Asia but the exact timing and location were unknown.
Asked if a listing were possible this year for Zhejiang Ant Small & Micro Financial Services Group, which runs the Alipay online payment platform, Ma told reporters: "I don't think so."
