Development of CG among GMS capital markets
• SET cooperated with the Stock Exchange of Lao in organizing the first “Train the Trainers” forum in
Lao PDR in September 2014, in order to develop personnel of the capital market in Laos so that they
could transfer the securities business knowledge to investors and relevant parties.
• SET hosted the GMS Capital Market Education Forum during November 7-8, 2014. They came up
with a consensus to develop literacy of investors through cooperation with leading universities
in each nation to serve as a center for dissemination of knowledge to investors, the general public
and professionals.
Moreover, the GMS Professional Education Working Committee, established in 2013, had formulated the
standard of securities professionals licensing procedures, and drafted the standard of licensing curriculum
for equity instrument consultant. The GMS regulators found this procedure restructuring helpful and in line
with the international standard.
