TDCC hosted the ACG Networking Week, which is a warm-up activity for the 22nd Cross Training Seminar (CTS 22) next year. This event provided a platform for ACG members to interact with each other before the official CTS 22 during this uniquely difficult period.
The 2021 ACG Networking Week was an amazing five-day event running from September 23rd to September 29th, involving six Task Forces. The sessions were convened by the Risk & Recovery Management Task Force hosted by Central Depository Company of Pakistan Limited; the Technical Task Force hosted by India National Securities Depository Limited; the Investor Services Task Force hosted by Taiwan Depository and Clearing Corporation; the Legal Task Force hosted by China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation; the Exchange of Information Task Force hosted by Japan Securities Depository Center, Inc., and the New Business Initiative Task Force hosted by Korea Securities Depository.
Even though this was a new initiative for ACG to hold an online networking event, it was a huge success attracting more than 300 participants from 29 organizations, including CSDs, custodian banks, and information service providers. This showed how supportive ACG members and participants were. Everyone involved gained extremely useful information from the sessions. It was a great pleasure for TDCC to be the host and learn alongside the entire ACG community.
The six sessions’ themes focused on “New Risks Arising from Pandemic Situation in the CSDs Industry”, “E-voting and Electronic Shareholder Meeting Mechanisms”, “Investor E-access Services”, “Securities Nominal Holding”, “Recent Market Updates” and “Filling the Gap.” There were several CSDs that joined the sessions as speakers. We would like to thank all of the members for their feedback during the event.
It is essential for CSDs to exchange information and cultivate a robust CSD ecosystem. We believe through interactions and events such as our successful 2021 ACG Networking Week, the Asia-Pacific CSD industry will enjoy a bright future together.
