Promoting anything without the necessary information is a recipe for disaster.

Yesterday, I participated in a panel discussion about the Malaysian Bond Market and derivatives organised by ASLI. Below is the agenda of the conference.

The 15th Malaysian Capital Market Summit - ASLI - Agenda

It was interesting to hear the ideas from the other panelists about what can be done to increase the bond and derivatives market further.

For my part, I highlighted the need of getting the information infrastructure in place first before pushing ahead with new derivative products. Promoting such a market without the necessary information is a recipe for disaster.
