An international trade association led a project from 2020 to 2023 to strengthen the global precious metals mining market. The initiative focused on promoting responsible mining, curbing illicit trade, and developing innovative financial tools to attract investment. Covering all ten ASEAN countries, the project’s central task was to map key policymakers and regulators, assess existing regulations on gold investment, and identify opportunities for market liberalization and innovation.

A two-level model was implemented. First, well-connected local consultants on the ground in each country held conversations with key stakeholders. Second, regional experts collated and contextualized this country-specific research. This allowed them to formulate actionable, strategic recommendations for the association.

A series of comprehensive reports were produced focusing on new market opportunities, including ETFs, pension funds, fintech, Shariah-compliant investments, and tax policy. Each report contained detailed and actionable recommendations, outlining how, when, and where to engage stakeholders to drive change and growth in the industry.
