Online Astana Finance Days 2020: Markets in Disrupted World

From June 29th until July 3rd, the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) will hold its annual forum, «Astana Finance Days».

The AIFC’s mission is to contribute to the sustainable economic development of Kazakhstan and the region by fostering innovative financial products and services.

This year’s annual conference will be an online event and the theme is «‘Markets in a Disrupted World.’»

Emerging markets and developed countries alike are increasingly challenged by exogenous factors, such as global climate change, commodity prices, and even a global pandemic. Most countries and companies alike have been ill-prepared given the sudden emergence of these shocks. While the danger is present and potentially severe depending on our collective action, the opportunities present themselves in a timely manner.

During Online Astana Finance Days, we will explore how to address the challenges, that an increasingly disrupted world poses for emerging markets and how to reshape emerging market economies and make them more resilient to future exogenous shocks. Over the course of five days, we will look at this from different angles, hear from industry experts, academia, and investors, and discuss various solutions.
