HONG KONG -- It will "not be too long" before Ant Group is able to resume its suspended initial public offering, according a member of the Chinese financial technology group's board of directors.

The operator of the Alipay mobile payment service and Alibaba Group Holding sister company was poised to raise $35 billion in the world's largest-ever IPO last November before Chinese regulators intervened shortly before share trading was set to start in Hong Kong and Shanghai.
