1. FTSE GROUP LAUNCHES PUBLIC CONSULTATION
FTSE Group, an ASrIA member, has launched a public consultation, the results of which will be used to create a roadmap of future criteria development for the FTSE4Good Index Series. This is in line with the commitment made by the FTSE4Good Policy Committee at the launch of the index in July 2001 to develop and introduce new and more stringent criteria to the index.

The consultation will close at the end of January.

2. ASIAN TSUNAMI: RESOURCE PAGE AND SUMMARY OF CORPORATE RESPONSE
ASrIA has compiled a summary of financial news related to the Tsunami disaster. This is primarily focused on gathering data about corporate and finance market contributions, rather than government or private contributions. The aim is to provide a resource for assessing 'best practice' in corporate and investor response in terms of reaction to this and future disasters, both during the immediate 'relief' phase, and during the longer term reconstruction phase. It also indicates the extent of aid efforts by the corporate sector across the Asian region, which has not been so well covered in the global media.
