On January 28, 2015, ACGA Research Director (India), Sharmila Gopinath, was invited by the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA) to speak on “Asian CG Market Rankings and Trends since 2000”. Drawing upon our "CG Watch 2014" report, our presentation discussed CG reform in the region under the following themes:

1. "Synchronised swimming" -- how markets, especially those in the middle of our ranking, are moving in tandem;
2. Overview of 11 Asian markets -- our market ranking survey;
3. Hong Kong vs Singapore -- underachievement continues, though Hong Kong pips Singapore to #1 position;
4. The rising middle -- a more positive story for Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan and India;
5. The bottom four -- Korea, China, Philippines and Indonesia
6. Market category scores
