SET and SZSE joins forces for mutual display of indices to connect investment 
opportunities

BANGKOK, April 27, 2023 - The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) and the Shenzhen 
Stock Exchange (SZSE) have deepened collaboration, sharing their investment data
for the mutual promotion of Thai and Chinese securities. Both exchanges' key
indices which make up of potential and quality securities will be disseminated
for the first time through each market's main channels - www.settrade.com and
www.cnindex.com.cn - to provide investors with greater access to information on
their listed securities. The cross-market index display service is now
available.

SET President Pakorn Peetathawatchai said SET and SZSE have been collaborating 
to enhance investment data connection and increase opportunities to make Thai
and Chinese securities better known among investors which is a part of SET's key
plans to open up overseas investment opportunities. The first-ever cooperation
for the mutual distribution of each market's indices is under a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) on Index Cross-Border Cooperation signed by SET and Shenzhen
Securities Information Company Limited (SSI), a service provider of SZSE
group's benchmarks to provide Chinese investors with data for analysis before
making investment decisions.

In 2022, SET and SZSE jointly organized an investment seminar in which 
executives of the Thai capital market and listed Thai companies gave Chinese
institutional investors a deep dive into renewable energy business trend in
Thailand to present its potential and build up the confidence.

Investors can keep updated with information dissemination of the SET's indices 
comprising SET Index, SET50 Index and SET THSI Index at www.cnindex.com.cn and
the indices of SZSE - Shenzhen Component Index, Shenzhen 100 Index TR, ChiNext
Index, CNI A50 Index, CNI 2000 Index and The Greater Bay Area Innovation 100
Index - at www.settrade.com under the Global menu named "International Index
Cooperation".

SET and SZSE signed the latest MOU in 2019 to widen opportunities for Thai and 
Chinese securities to be more widely known and connect both stock exchanges to
offer more fundraising options through, for example, the cross-border product
development, cooperation on indices and organization of annual roadshows.
