On the morning of 19 September, the 51st General Assembly of the Ibero-American Federation of Stock Exchanges took place at the Palacio Bursátil.
The participants agreed to meet again next year in Madrid, which will be hosted by Bolsas y Mercados Españoles.
Buenos Aires has been chosen this year as the venue for the Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Ibero-American Federation of Stock Exchanges (FIAB), which takes place from Wednesday 18 to Friday 20 September in the halls of the BCBA and the Hotel Sofitel Recoleta.
With the participation of member stock exchanges from Latin America, the Caribbean and Spain, the first part of the 19th was dedicated to the Annual Assembly, a closed event with exclusive participation for FIAB Members.
The President of the BCBA, Adelmo Gabbi, opened the doors of the Casa to the representatives of the sister stock exchanges, providing the institutional framework for the occasion, and at the same time offering the warmth that characterises these meetings.
The agenda included the determination of the venue that will host them in 2025. This decision is an opportunity for the host country to offer the right environment to ‘discuss issues of great importance for the sector, comment on experiences and strengthen the Federation’, as defined by FIAB President Javier Hernani.
Jorge Alegría, CEO of the Mexican Stock Exchange, Miguel Ángel Zapatero, General Manager of the Lima Stock Exchange and Andrés Restrepo, General Manager of the Colombian Stock Exchange were welcomed as new members of the Executive Committee.
From the close of this Assembly, the countdown begins in which the topics to be addressed during the next one will be prepared, based on the needs raised by the members and the research work carried out by the Sub-Working Committee and the Executive Committee.
For more than half a century, the FIAB's objective has been to facilitate the participation and channelling of popular savings to boost the productive processes of the public and private sectors, to encourage the improvement of stock exchanges and securities markets for these purposes, and to promote cooperation for economic and financial integration, as well as convergence towards unified standards, practices and customs.
