ANNUAL REPORT JUNE 2010
FEDERATION OF EURO-ASIAN STOCK EXCHANGES
Elvira Maria Schamann
Secretary General
FIAB
The Ibero-American Federation of
Exchanges- FIAB joins with joy the 15°
Anniversary of FEAS, and congratulates
all FEAS directors, management and staff
for the success they reached in such a
short time.
We have seen FEAS’ constant growth
since its first years, in order to become
today a regional organization that clearly
fulfils its objectives, reaching 29 countries,
and which represents, in the international
arena, exchanges and securities
institutions from such an important
geographic, economic and cultural area.
The mission that regional Federations
have within their own geographic zones
towards their members, extends
internationally in many diverse fields
–standardization of statistics
methodology, standardization of market
best practices, corporate governance,
etc- and the cooperation among them, as
well as with the World Federation of
Exchanges, has become extremely
relevant.

In this sense, FIAB and FEAS have set a
tradition of cooperation since long time
ago. Not only the exchange of information
–statistics and news- has been regular
through the internet, but also the
Secretaries General of both organizations
have had the opportunity to attend
several meetings organized by their
Federations, as well as by the WFE, and
update personally their Federation’s work
in progress.
Worth mentioning this last year was the
participation of FEAS Secretary General,
Mr. Aril Seren, in the FIAB Annual Meeting
held in Lima, jointly with the WFE
Emerging Markets Conference. Mr Seren
joined as panelist for the session
“Developing markets experience in the
crisis environment; a focus on post-crisis
projects and markets growth” and
presented a very comprehensive and
interesting report on FEAS members
reaction to the crisis and their prospects.
With special emphasis, post crisis
opportunities and challenges for
emerging securities markets will certainly
be reflected in the Federations agendas
and strategic priorities. That is why we
hope that the cooperation among FIAB
and FEAS will go on, even with more
weight, in the future.
Finally, we wish FEAS success continuing,
both regionally and internationally, in the
years to come and, once more, we
extend to the sister Federation our
congratulations for the excellent work
done all along this first 15th FEAS
Anniversary.
