The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has joined the Association of National Numbering Agencies (ANNA) as partner, in its bid to make the Philippine capital market more accessible and transparent.
ANNA confirmed the membership of the SEC as a partner during its 30th anniversary general meeting, hosted by Euroclear Bank SA/NV in Brussels, early this month.
“We are incredibly pleased to have the Philippines Securities and Exchange Commission join ANNA at this time when our member organization is growing, and as international financial standards are continuing to become ever more important to ensure global interoperability and transparency in the capital markets,” ANNA Chairman Dan Kuhnel said.
The ANNA is a global member association seeking to foster standardization within the financial industry by promoting standard identifiers.
Founded in 1992 by 22 numbering agencies, ANNA’s membership has grown to more than 120 global members and partners allocating ISIN, FISN and CFI codes on behalf of their local jurisdictions.
