Stock Exchange Of Thailand Re-opens Its Trading System

Regarding the error in the system that resulted in the Automated System of the Stock Exchange of Thailand (ASSET System) being unable to match trading orders as usual from 16.18 hours on Thursday 31 October 2002, the SET temporarily halted the system, but re-opened the market again at 17.22 hours.

The SET allowed trading orders to be matched in the call market system for 30 minutes from 17.30 hours to 18.00 hours. The main trading system then concluded at 18.00 hours, with another 15 minutes for off-hour trading. The market therefore closed at 18.15 hours.
