    Minicase San Pico

    Presently, stock is traded in a cramped building in La Cobijio, the nation's capital. Admittedly, the San Pico Stock Exchange system is rather archaic. Twice a day an official of the exchange will call out the name of each of the 43 companies whose stock trades on the exchange. Brokers wanting to buy or sell shares for their clients then attempt to make a trade with one another. This crowd trading system has worked well for over one hundred years, but the government desires to replace it with a new modern system that will allow greater and more frequent opportunities for trading in each company, and will allow for trading the shares of the many new start-up companies that are expected to trade in the secondary market. Additionally, the government administration is rapidly privatizing many state-owned businesses in an attempt to foster their efficiency, obtain foreign exchange from the sale, and convert the country to a more capitalist economy. The government believes that it would conduct this privatization faster and perhaps at more attractive prices if it had a modern stock exchange facility where the shares of the newly privatized companies will eventually trade.…

    THE VIETNAMESE STOCK MARKET By Roberta S. Karmel Thirty years ago, I never imagined I would be visiting Vietnam and be warmly welcomed as an American, witnessing a nation enjoying economic growth and increasing prosperity, despite some of the lingering ill effects of Agent Orange in the countryside. Yet, last month, as part of a delegation from the Financial Women’s Association, I had the good fortunate to travel to Vietnam and meet with government officials and others and learn about business developments and Vietnam’s booming stock market. i[i] It is noteworthy that the United States is Vietnam’s top trading partner, and its second biggest investor after Taiwan. Vietnam’s GDP is rising dramatically, its foreign direct investment is rapidly increasing, and its stock market is soaring. On November 7, 2006, Vietnam was officially recognized by the international community as the 150th WTO member. Vietnam is Asia’s second fastest growing economy after China, and it has been forecast that Vietnam will become the world’s 17th largest economy by 2025. Although the country has been a oneparty communist state since 1976, Vietnam has eased restrictions on private enterprise and is selling off many state owned enterprises (“SOEs”) to the public. These offerings are not referred to as “privatizations” for ideological reasons, but rather are called “equitizations.” In 1986, Vietnam launched the Doi Moi (or Renovation) intended to transition the country from a centralized economy to a socialist-oriented market economy. These reforms have borne fruit. In 2006, Vietnam’s stock market index surged 145% and in the first three months of 2007, the index rose another 60%. It should be understood that the Vietnamese stock…

    Stock Exchange of Thailand

    The modern Thai Capital Market was started in 1961 when Thailand implemented its first five-year National Economic and Social Development Plan. It supports the promotion of economic growth and stability as well as develops the Kingdom's standard of living. After that, the Second National Economic and Social Development Plan (1967-1971) proposed to set up an orderly securities market in order to gather additional capital to support Thailand's industrialization and economic development. The modern Thai capital market can be divided into two phases, "The Bangkok Stock Exchange" which was privately owned and "The Securities Exchange of Thailand". The BSE finally ceased operations in the early 1970s because of a lack of official government support and a limited investor understanding of the equity market…
