BANGKOK, April 1, 2021 – The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) organized the 32nd
ASEAN Exchanges CEOs virtual meeting on March 30, 2021. CEOs of seven ASEAN
Exchanges from six countries namely Bursa Malaysia, Hanoi Stock Exchange,

on cross-border products, working together to enhance sustainability in the

uplift ASEAN Exchanges to catch global investors’ eyes.
SET President Pakorn Peetathawatchai said: This year’s agenda focused on
facilitating the issuance of ASEAN products by having cross border products,
exchanging experiences in the capital market’s ecosystem development and
investment that will lead to sustainability amid the disrupted new normal with
practical executions, and continuing to work with partners to foster greater
diversity, innovation and investment opportunities. ASEAN Exchanges will jointly
establish a Sustainability Working Group to foster sustainable development and

Governance (ESG) to create balanced growth for both business and society, and
has showcased the outstanding world-class performance on sustainability of the
