São Paulo – The Syrian Ministry of Finance will promote, from December 10th to 12th, the First International Exhibition and Forum for Financial Investment. The objective is to attract investors to the country’s stock market and increase local businessmen’s knowledge of the financial market.
The opening up of the Syrian financial market is still recent. It began just four years ago. Ever since, banks from Lebanon, Qatar, Jordan and Saudi Arabia are already operating in the country. Syria also wants to attract foreign investors.
"We need lots of experience. Our market is a virgin one and we have lots of potential. We want to encourage Brazilian financial institutions, such as banks and companies that provide financial services, to come and do business in Syria," claims Radwan Chanawani, general manager of company Business and Development, in charge of organizing the event.
The forum will have exhibitor stands and free lectures by Arab stock market specialists from the Amman Stock Exchange, Egyptian Exchange, Doha Stock Exchange, Kuwait Stock Market, among others.
The United Kingdom, Austria and Cyprus are among the international exhibitors in the event, which is open to participants from all countries.
"The exhibition will be an important occasion for the Syrian financial and banking institutions, joint stock companies and brokerage firms to present their services to a large number of interested parties," finishes off Chanawani.
