Abstract

This technical note summarizes findings and recommendations on measures for the strengthening of the capital markets in Mongolia. The authorities have taken bold steps in the last two years to modernize the Mongolian Stock Exchange (MSE) and put in place modern legal, regulatory and market infrastructure for the capital market. Improving the institutional, regulatory and supervisory framework is a key priority, and the enactment of a new securities market law should lay a sound foundation for the regulation and supervision of the securities markets. However, its current draft has several gaps that should be addressed. Nonetheless, development of the domestic securities market in Mongolia should take into account the inherent problems for small markets, because a central feature of the securities market is economies of scale. Currently, the local capital market is not representative of the full universe of Mongolian enterprises that are operating in the country at present. As a result, it may be difficult to attract foreign investors interest if the country's most attractive firms are not listed domestically. One of the most important elements for a strong domestic capital market is a diversified institutional investor base, and the regulatory agencies involved should pursue a concerted strategy toward developing the investor base. Mongolia needs to provide an enabling environment to attract a diverse range of institutional investors participation, including investors from abroad.

Abstract

With declining fertility and rising life expectancy, the Vietnamese population is expected to age rapidly, making the development of a modern social security system a pressing priority for Vietnam. The current system faces a number of major challenges, including low coverage rates in both the formal and informal sectors, inequities between different participant groups, lack of financial sustainability, and weak capacity for management and implementation of social insurance programs. Reforms are needed urgently to expand coverage, promote fairness, improve financial sustainability, and modernize the social security administration in order to help ensure income security for Vietnam's aging population in the coming decades. This note aims to contribute to the policy discussions around possible revisions to the social insurance code foreseen for 2013 by reviewing some of these challenges and possible reform options.

Abstract

This is an initial report of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) assessment performed in 2010 as part of the financial sector assessment program (FSAP) of China. The assessment was prepared on the basis of a self-assessment prepared by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), public information contained on the CSRC website and the websites of other entities in China, and a review of relevant Chinese laws and regulations. The timely completion of this assessment was greatly facilitated by the cooperation provided by numerous members of the staff of the CSRC. The CSRC has broad regulatory authority over the stock and futures exchanges, the China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation Limited (SD and C) and other clearing and settlement institutions, securities companies, futures companies, and collective investment scheme (CIS) operators. This paper is divided into two parts. The first part gives summary, key findings, and recommendations. It is further divided into following six parts: (i) introduction; (ii) information and methodology used for assessment; (iii) institutional and market structure- overview; (iv) preconditions for effective securities regulation; (v) key findings; and (vi) recommended action plan and authorities' response. The second part gives tabular detailed assessment.
