The Qatar Stock Exchange (QSE) is keen on co-operating and empowering partnership in a world of strong alliances, financial crises, and unstable regional circumstances.
Considering the need for joint work, the bourse will host the 55th general assembly and annual meeting of the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) in October this year.
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.
Highlighting that no country in this interconnected world can be immune to the risks and vagaries of the global economy, QSE chief executive Rashid bin Ali al-Mansoori (pictured) said all countries need to build bridges of co-operation and joint coordination.
He called on participating stock exchanges to co-operate and empower partnership, depicting joint work as an urgent need.
“We look at this meeting as an opportunity to exchange views in order to strengthen the means of cooperation between the participating stock exchanges and find solutions to the difficulties and challenges that may face those exchanges, especially in light of the rapid economic, social and political changes all over the world,” he added.
The 2014 WFE General Assembly and Annual Meeting, held in the Korean capital, Seoul, saw al-Mansoori being elected as a board member of the WFE to represent Europe-Middle East-Africa region for a three-year term.
The WFE exchanges are home to more than 45,000 listed companies and the WFE statistics database covers more than 350 indicators and 70 years of data from exchanges worldwide.
