SINGAPORE, May 27 (Bernama) -- Shareholder activism in Asia has reached a record high, with over 200 companies targeted in both 2023 and 2024, up from 134 in 2021, reflecting the growing importance of corporate governance and shareholder engagement across the Asia-Pacific region. The Diligent Market Intelligence: Shareholder Activism in Asia 2025 report from Diligent provides a comprehensive analysis of key activism trends across the region.
According to the report, Japan has emerged as the most active force in the wider Asian market, with 108 campaigns advanced by activists in 2024, a 74% increase from 2018. Despite the market turbulence that abruptly changed the course of the season for many other global markets in the opening quarter of 2025, Japan has remained largely insulated from such upheaval with 19 new campaigns launched in the three-month period.
