PASLA was incorporated in Hong Kong in 1995 and is an association of firms that are active in the business of borrowing and/or lending securities in Asian markets.
LET'S START
PASLA provides a collective voice and an industry consensus on issues that affect the development of the securities lending business.
PASLA works with regional regulators and exchanges to assist in the further development of the securities lending business.
The Beijing Stock Exchange (BSE) has issued a consultation paper for the "Trading Rules on Margin Financing and Securities Borrowing" (the trading rules) and is open to the public for opinion.
