China Huarong Asset Management Co. slumped as much as 45% in Hong Kong as a nine-month trading suspension was lifted following a $6.6 billion state-orchestrated bailout of the troubled bad asset manager.

The Beijing-based firm fell HK$0.45 to HK$0.57 as of 10:13 a.m. in Hong Kong. More than 190 million Huarong shares changed hands in the first 30 minutes of trading, making it by far the most actively-traded by volume.
