The Securities and Futures Commission has launched the Asia Pacific Takeovers Regulators Forum, an e-platform jointly set up and hosted with the Securities Commission, Malaysia.

The forum is designed to facilitate the exchange of ideas and views regarding Asia Pacific takeovers and related matters among regulators in the Asia-Pacific region. The forum’s membership is open to Asia Pacific takeovers regulators only.

Through the exchange of ideas and views, member regulators will be able to:

  • promote and develop the transparent and fair conduct of takeovers activities in their own markets;
  • learn from the experience of others to assist in the development of regulation in their countries;
  • protect the public in their countries against financial losses arising from malpractice in takeovers.
