About AOSEF

The Asian and Oceanian Stock Exchanges Federation (AOSEF) was established in 1982, at the initiative of Tokyo Stock Exchange, under the name the East Asian Stock Exchanges Conference, with the aim of promoting information exchange and mutual assistance among member exchanges for the development of regional securities markets.

Following an expansion of its membership, the organization adopted its current name in 2005. Since its establishment in 1982, JPX has served as the Secretariat, and AOSEF has conducted a wide range of activities and events across Asia and Oceania.

In recent years, against the backdrop of the COVID‑19 pandemic, AOSEF has focused on online‑based activities, including providing virtual forums for discussion and hosting webinars on topics of common interest among member exchanges.
