Our colleague, Mushtaq Kapasi, Chief Representative, Asia Pacific, ICMA and Ilhwan Kim, Korea Market Specialist, Bloomberg presented the key findings and takeaways from our recent KTB market survey. The survey report analysis, led by Alex Tsang, CFA, Director, ICMA, provided valuable insights into international market sentiment on KTB markets and recent reforms.

Released today: ICMA - International Capital Market Association and Bloomberg survey finds that global investors expect KTB market reforms to boost interest and trading efficiency. New survey analysis of Korea Treasury Bonds (KTB) reveals significant untapped market potential for KTB trading. The survey, conducted by the ICMA - International Capital Market Association and Bloomberg, suggests that recent market reforms can generate increased interest in KTB trading. The study surveyed more than 300 respondents within the global financial sector to assess the impact of existing reforms from a market stakeholder’s perspective and to understand market expectations of further reform initiatives in Korean capital markets. ❇ Download the report: https://lnkd.in/gvZUYfXS Mushtaq Kapasi, Chief Representative, Asia-Pacific, ICMA - International Capital Market Association, said: "We are deeply encouraged by Korea’s recent capital market reforms to enable the inclusion of Korean government bonds in international bond indices. Our KTB market survey not only demonstrates the significant untapped opportunities for both international investors and Korean issuers, but more importantly, the willingness of these investors to consider KTBs as part of their portfolios.” Bing Li, Head of APAC, Bloomberg, said: “The KTB markets remain broadly untapped by global investors and contain substantial potential for growth. Key reforms such as offshore KRW trading and ICSD clearing are potential catalysts to attract new market participants. Technological enhancements and infrastructure improvements could also be real game-changers for increased participation in the markets.” Contact details for further information: Vincci Xiao, [email protected],

The theme of this year’s World Mental Health Day (on 10 October) is “it’s time to prioritise mental health in the workplace”. Safeguarding the mental health of employees in the workplace is vital because of its impact on productivity, attendance and overall performance. When left untreated, the economic cost of mental illness is estimated by the WHO at US$1 trillion annually. Looking after ourselves and our people is also the morally right thing to do. In this ICMA Women's Network (IWN) event, our speaker Richard Martin, CEO of the Mindful Business Charter, will by reference to his own experience explore how to identify and manage our triggers, and what we can do to prioritise our mental health on a personal level. He will also explain how the Mindful Business Charter (MBC) supports firms at an organisational level to build best practices and remove unnecessary sources of stress in order to promote better mental health and wellbeing in the workplace. Finally, Rachael Forsberg (MBC) will share strategies on how simple, sustainable changes in our sleeping habits, diet and lifestyle can optimise our mood and contribute to our overall wellbeing. This in-person event is open to ICMA members and is free to attend. Please note that ICMA Women’s Network events are open to all genders, so we encourage female registrants to bring along a colleague of another gender.
