The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) has joined forces with the Capital Market Development Fund (CMDF) to reinforce the Capital Market Research Institute (CMRI) in conducting quality research studies for the development of Thailand’s capital market, economy and society.
SET President Pakorn Peetathawatchai said SET has consistently promoted capital market research through CMRI management for the benefits of the Thai capital market for over 10 years. SET has continuously connected capital market players with education sector to conduct capital market research studies academically recognized and applicable in real life. Furthermore, these findings can also be developed to bring advantages and competitiveness to Thailand’s capital market and economy in line with SET’s vision ‘To Make the Capital Market Work for Everyone’.
“SET focuses on promoting quality research studies, uplifting theoretical research studies into practice, equipping personnel and researchers with broader and in-depth knowledge through training activities, improving capital market research database as an information resource for Thailand’s capital market and economy, as such enabling researchers to access right and wide variety of information with an aim to enhance quality. The collaboration between SET and CMDF is currently formulated to create an effective ecosystem to facilitate the development of research studies covering broader dimensions. Simultaneously, CMRI is a central unit in managing pooled resources regarding relevant local and overseas database. Moreover, building platforms for researchers is also one of our key tasks, aiming to inclusively deliver greater benefits to all relevant parties: capital market, business, and society,” Pakorn added.
CMDF President Chanant Charnchainarong said CMDF has been established with the aim to promote and support the growth of the overall capital market ecosystem, while gaining competitive edge and operating business sustainably. CMDF prioritizes the support of research studies related to capital market, investment, and capital market development. Therefore, this collaboration with SET specifically to support CMRI for the development of research studies will be vital to benefit the capital market in several dimensions, such as more practical use of academic research, accessibility to database and research resources, innovative vehicle for more collaborations between capital market players and educational institutions, as well as researchers’ experience and skills development. Significantly, CMDF last year supported various aspects of capital market development projects, such as upgrading capital market infrastructure, unleashing workforce potential in the capital market, promoting knowledge & understanding about the capital market, among others. In addition to this support to CMRI, CMDF will continue to support other projects of utmost benefit to the capital market toward sustainability.
