OECD Asia Capital Markets Report 2025
November 6, 2025-Introduction
Since the early 2000s,Asia has become a major engine of global growth,fuelled by industrialisation,technological innovation and deeper integration into global markets. As a result,the region today accounts for nearly a third of global GDP and 55% of the world's listed companies.
Asian capital markets have played a large role in the region's growth by providing financing for businesses,supporting innovation,and helping diversify funding sources. This has led to the rise of many globally competitive Asian companies.
