SET Market Report For September 2021

Date 07/10/2021

In September 2021, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) estimated that the Thai economic outlook in 2021 and 2022 would be close to the previous forecast. The economy was expected to benefit from increasing vaccination distribution and the faster-than-expected relaxation of the disease control measures. Uncertainties surrounding investors in stock exchanges globally were the possibility that the Federal Reserve (Fed) may end its quantitative easing policy sooner and the downward revision of the Chinese economic growth forecast for this year and the period ahead after the Chinese government imposed measures to control the property and technology sectors. However, Thai listed companies were strong and steadily recovered.

ISDA derivatiViews: A New Standard For Interest Rate Derivatives

Date 06/10/2021

Someone using the then-newly minted interest rate derivatives definitions back in 2006 would only have needed to read 158 pages of the main book to get a clear picture of the terms of their trades. Anyone referencing the 2006 Definitions today would have a somewhat bigger task on their hands. To keep pace with market developments, ISDA has had to publish an extra 586 pages of amendments via nearly 90 different supplements over the past 15 years that require interleaving with the main book, making the job of keeping track of trade terms complex, time-consuming and prone to error. This is clearly not sustainable – which is why this week’s implementation of the new 2021 ISDA Interest Rate Derivatives Definitions is so important.
