and the Republic of Korea (RoK), opened for business on October 10
in the capital, Vientiane.
On addressing the
opening ceremony, Laos Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the
Securities Commission Somsavat Lengsavad highlighted the importance of a
securities market when raising capital for the country’s socio-economic
development.
The Laotian government is about to
launch its seventh five year socio-economic development plan for the
period 2011-2015. The main objectives of the plan are to eradicate
poverty, reach the UN’s Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and create
the best possible conditions to take Laos of the list of the world’s
under developed countries by 2020 and lay the foundations for the
country’s industrialisation and modernisation, said Somsavad.
He added that it was essential for Laos to raise significant
funding and professionally qualified human resources to boost its
integration into the world international arena./.
