The Thai Bond Market Association (ThaiBMA) is a self-regulated organization, licensed to run an efficient market and act as an information center for Thailand’s secondary bond market. It is responsible for developing the market, establish market conventions and standards, and acts as a Bond Pricing agency. It also provides a forum for market professionals to move toward a more mature and sophisticated Thai bond market. The ThaiBMA evolved out of the Thai Bond Dealing Centre (Thai BDC), replacing it in September 2005. The Thai BDC in turn grew out of the Bond Dealers Club, formed in 1994 as a part of the Association of Securities Companies (ASCO) to study setting up a secondary bond market.
The Association of Investment Management Companies (AIMC), founded in 1994, promotes the development of investment management company standards and the protection of fund investors' interests. |
