Hong Kong stocks climbed to end at a one-month high on Thursday, on hopes that more stimulative measures would be rolled out to bolster the island city's growth amid months-long protests.

The Hang Seng index rose 0.7%, to 26,848.49, while the China Enterprises Index gained 0.5%, to 10,588.17.

Nine major banks in Hong Kong have agreed to adopt a number of measures to support small and medium enterprises in Hong Kong, the central bank said on Wednesday, as four months of anti-government protests start taking its toll on local businesses.
