The unique platform convenes CEOs of five stock exchanges in the GMS namely Cambodia, Hanoi, Hochiminh, Laos and Thailand, alongside high-level market regulators and institutional investors to continuously create close collaboration among GMS exchanges. This year the summit focuses on strengthening investor base diversification to create liquidity, aiming to enhance regional growth among GMS exchanges.
SET President Kesara Manchusree stated, “Building strong institutional investor base both domestically and internationally is among key foundations to balance capital market composition, as such fortifying capital market foundation towards sustainability.
