The World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) is pleased to announce that the WFEClear Conference 2027 will take place from 27–29 April in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
The conference will be hosted by Kazakhstan Stock Exchange (KASE) and its subsidiary, the KASE Clearing Center.
WFEClear, the WFE’s annual conference for clearing houses and central counterparties (CCPs), brings together senior leaders from exchanges, clearing institutions, regulators and academia from across the global market infrastructure community to discuss the key issues shaping clearing, risk management and post-trade services.
Almaty provides a fitting setting for these discussions. Historically part of the Silk Road, one of the earliest centres of organised trade, the region has long served as a meeting point for markets and exchange. Today, Kazakhstan’s financial ecosystem is entering a new phase of development, with CCP capabilities evolving in tandem with efforts to strengthen market infrastructure. This creates a new opportunity for the global clearing community to engage with a market experiencing steady growth and increasing international interest.
Nandini Sukumar, Chief Executive Officer of the WFE, said: “Bringing WFEClear to Almaty reflects the region’s long-standing role in facilitating trade and its development as a financial market. As Kazakhstan continues to build out its CCP framework, the conference provides an opportunity to share perspectives and examine the issues shaping clearing markets globally.”
Natalya Khoroshevskaya, Chairperson of the KASE Clearing Center, said: “Hosting WFEClear 2027 in Almaty marks an important milestone for Kazakhstan’s post-trade infrastructure. It provides a platform to showcase the progress we have made in developing robust CCP capabilities, while fostering dialogue with global peers on advancing resilience, transparency and innovation in clearing. We look forward to welcoming the international community to engage with our market at a time of meaningful transformation.”
Further details on the agenda, speakers, and registration will be announced over the coming months.
