The ASEAN+3 Bond Market Forum (ABMF)

The ASEAN+3 Bond Market Forum was founded in May 2010 by the finance ministers of ASEAN+3 under the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI). The Forum's mission is to integrate the ASEAN+3 markets through standardization and harmonization of regulations and market practices relating to cross-border bond transactions. The Forum is open to experts interested in bond market developments and regional financial cooperation. ABMF meetings are held three times a year, bringing together experts from the ministries of finance, central banks, securities market regulators, central securities depositories, securities exchanges and market operators, financial market associations, and major financial institutions and IT vendors in the region.

The Cross-Border Settlement Infrastructure Forum (CSIF)

The Cross-Border Settlement Infrastructure Forum was established in 2013 by the ASEAN+3 finance ministers under ABMI. The members of CSIF are composed of the central banks and central securities depositories of the ASEAN+3 economies. CSIF is mandated to facilitate discussions of the ASEAN+3 region's cross-border bond and cash settlement infrastructure, including the establishment of a regional settlement intermediary. CSIF meetings are held three times, normally back-to-back, with ABMF.
