The World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) has a key role in protecting the financial markets from potential financial crises, according to the Qatar Stock Exchange (QSE).
“We have a clear interest in activating the WFE role in terms of promoting the best practices among member exchanges in order to protect financial markets from potential financial crises,” Rashid bin Ali al-Mansoori (pictured), QSE CEO, told the working committee and board meeting of the WFE in London.
The QSE will host the 55th general assembly and annual meeting of the WFE in October this year.
Al-Mansoori participated in the meetings in his capacity as a member of the WFE Working Committee and board of directors after his election to the WFE board to represent the Europe-Middle East-Africa region for a three-year term.
“The QSE’s participation in international events helps to support Qatar’s position as one of the leading regional markets as we take our responsibility to co-ordinate the efforts of global markets in general and the emerging markets in particular to protect their interests against existing and potential challenges,” he said.
The WFE is the world’s largest gathering of exchanges as it is the trade association of 64 publicly regulated stock, futures and options exchanges from all over the world, in addition to other affiliate and correspondent members.
The WFE exchanges are home to more than 45,000 listed companies and the WFE statistics database covers 70 years of data from exchanges worldwide.
