Following its successful partnership and participation in two virtual conferences this year, the ASEAN Exchanges will continue to pursue conference and roadshow opportunities where it can discuss updates on products, regulation, sustainability and other capital market initiatives. In terms of digital marketing, enhanced content will likewise be continuously displayed on the ASEAN Exchanges website and promoted on social media.

Initiatives on the sustainability front will commence with the identification of core Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) metrics in sustainability reports among the exchanges. The ESG working group formed after the 32nd ASEAN Exchanges CEOs Meeting is spearheading this activity.
Speaking on behalf of the ASEAN Exchanges, PSE President and CEO Ramon S.
