opportunities to more investors and promoting greater liquidity amongst members. The
group has several key focus areas including educating local investors on equity trading; providing
them with a platform to source information and trade ideas; promoting cross

growth in the ASEAN region continues to average 5.4% and with a population of
650 million and fast-growing wealth, it is also becoming an economic
superpower. Singapore’s
Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong, has predicted that ASEAN will become the
fourth largest economy in the world by 2030.
