Overview

The event is co-organized by the Graduate School of Management of the Kyoto University (GSM - Kyoto), Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS), eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL), and the Asian Development Bank (ADB).

ASEAN+3 Bond Market Forum (ABMF) was established in May 2010 by the finance ministers of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) plus the People’s Republic of China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea—collectively known as ASEAN+3—under the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI). The Forum is the only regional platform on which actions and recommendations are reported to the ASEAN+3 policy discussion. It functions to integrate the ASEAN+3 markets through standardization and harmonization of regulations and market practices as well as market infrastructures relating to cross-border bond transactions.

ABMF meetings are held three times a year, bringing together more than 100 experts from the ministries of finance, central banks, securities market regulators, central securities depositories, securities exchanges and market operators, financial market associations as well as major financial institutions and IT vendors in the region. The forum is open to experts who are interested in financial market developments and regional financial cooperation.

Cross-Border Settlement Infrastructure Forum (CSIF) was established in 2013. The members of CSIF are composed of the central banks and central securities depositories of the ASEAN+3 economies. Officials from the ministries of finance and securities and exchange commissions of ASEAN+3 may join as observers.

The Graduate School of Management of the Kyoto University (GSM-Kyoto) is supported by the Mizuho Securities Endowed Chair. The Graduate School of Management contributes to the diverse and harmonious development of global society by developing an educational system that bridges cutting-edge research and specialized practice and educates highly distinctive professionals who can give leadership in a wide range of fields, and by conducting management research with high ethical standards based on research freedom and autonomy.

Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS) Established in 1963, the Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS) at Kyoto University is dedicated to comprehensive research on Southeast Asia. It integrates disciplines from the natural sciences, humanities, and social sciences to create dynamic academic institutions that go beyond the established fields of area studies to meet present-day challenges and solve myriad complex issues.

XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is an open international standard for digital business reporting and lets reporting information move between organizations rapidly, accurately, and digitally. The XBRL Asia Roundtable (XART) brings together XBRL experts, project leaders, and national regulators from throughout Asia and Oceania to discuss topics of common interest, including project updates and regulatory developments. XART is not only for XBRL society but also open to anyone who wants to modernize the information supply chain.
