ACGA at OECD-ADBI Roundtable on Capital Market and Financial Reform in Asia

ACGA participated in the OECD-ADBI Roundtable on Capital Market and Financial Reform in Asia, held on 18–19 June 2026 in Tokyo, which convened policymakers, regulators, central banks, and market participants to discuss key reform priorities across Asia.

Amar Gill, ACGA’s Secretary General, spoke in Session 5 on “Advancing Human Capital Disclosure and Corporate Governance,” highlighting the growing importance of human capital as a driver of long-term value creation and the ongoing lack of consistent, decision-useful disclosure metrics. The session was chaired by Masamichi Kono, Senior Advisor of MUFG Bank with other panellists including Koichiro Kuramochi from the Financial Services Agency of Japan, and Unenbat Jigjit of the Corporate Governance Development Center in Mongolia. 

Amar emphasised that improved transparency on workforce-related risks and opportunities can strengthen investor engagement, market discipline and alignment with long-term performance. He also underscored the importance of developing female talent within companies and in the pipeline up to executive directors, and recommended that together with staff turnover ratio companies could also provide the ratio of their female staff turnover so that this is monitored more closely. 

The session also discussed the role of boards and management in embedding human capital considerations into strategy and reporting, and how investors can encourage more comparable disclosures if there is standardisation across markets.
