PASLA is delighted to announce the launch of the new PASLA LinkedIn page, which will allow us to better connect with our members and stakeholders.

The Executive Committee believe that a more accessible presence on the world’s leading professional network will enhance our efforts to represent the securities lending industry, communicate our views and shape the discussion about securities lending in Asia Pacific.

Using LinkedIn should also complement our other forms of external engagement, such as dialogue with regulators and exchanges, public speaking and engaging with media.

As you will see, our new LinkedIn profile gives us an opportunity to explain PASLA’s purpose to a wider audience, comment on topics that matter to the industry – such as the relationship between ESG and securities lending – and share content that will interest market participants. In time, we will also close down the existing private PASLA LinkedIn group as this will no longer be required now that we have a public profile.

We hope that you will follow PASLA on LinkedIn and share our posts with your own connections on the network. Please do let us have any feedback.

Thank you for your continued support.

The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) and the Thailand Futures Exchange (TFEX) have extended the effective period of the revised regulations regarding short selling rules, ceiling & floor, and the daily price limit of the derivatives contracts until 30 September 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related uncertainty.

The temporary measures, tightened uptick rule and daily short-selling volume control will all be lifted effective 10 June 2020.

The daily short selling volume control will return to the original 30 percent of the average trading volume of the underlying stock during the previous 30 business days.

The uptick rule will be restored to the original 10 percent level, where a stock cannot be short sold below the closing price of the previous day when the stock shows a decline of 10 percent or more in the previous trading day.
