is now established as an annual event, attracts an ever- increasing interest and arouses thrill in the sector. We Have Realized the Capital Markets Vision Meeting In October, our Association and the Turkish Institutional Investment Managers’ Association (TKYD) co-organized the vision meeting themed “Contribution of Capital Markets as a Driver to the Economy and the Real Sector, Opportunities and Action Steps for their Improvement”. A special session titled “The Importance of Capital Markets for the Development of the Turkish Economy” was held on the first day of the two- day event. The first day covered three different panels titled “The Driving Force of the Capital Markets, Their Contribution to the Real Sector and Opportunities for the Turkish Capital Markets”, “Private Pension System and Auto Enrolment” and “Asset Management Sector and New Trends”. On the second day of the event, task groups were created to work on 12 different headings with the involvement of participants. We have compiled the suggestions developed by task groups in a report and shared it with the public opinion. We Have Completed the 3 rd Turkish Capital Markets Summit with a Broad Participation The theme of the third “Turkish Capital Markets Summit” held in November was set as “Future”. Having CMB among its supporters and the Borsa Istanbul Group as its main sponsor, the summit was successfully brought to completion after 26 panels and 23 training programs in sector-specific topics held during two days. 134 panelists, 15 of whom were from foreign countries, took part in these panels. Surpassing our targeted number, we hosted more than 8 thousand participants in our summit. We had contacts with all the manufacturing companies wishing to obtain funds from the capital markets, to invest their investments in capital markets, and to manage interest/exchange rate risks in the Business-to-Business (B2B) area set up in the summit venue, where real sector companies and TCMA-member intermediary institutions got together. Sponsored by 29 institutions, our Summit was also supported by 29 civil society organizations and 3 communication partners. The participants in the Summit included more than 250 chairpersons and boards of director’s members, over 500 general managers and assistant general managers, more than 1,000 managers and assistant managers, more than 2,000 specialists, over 300 academicians and over 1,600 students. For the Summit, we carried out a comprehensive publicity campaign on digital media channels, in addition to conventional media. Visited by approximately 200 thousand times by users, the Summit website reached a unique visitor number of 43,209. We have developed a specific mobile application also this year to allow participants to follow up the Summit more comfortably, as we did in 2017. Named TSPKONGRESI, the mobile app was used by 4,816 people during the Summit. While 5,816 people examined the app on IOS and Android devices, 20,206 sessions were opened on the app. The app was downloaded by 95 people from foreign countries, 73 of them from the US and 22 from UK. In 2019, we are targeting to expand our Summit so as to achieve even higher participation and to make an impression on the international platforms. We would like to thank once again all our sponsors, our speakers and participants, and to express our wish to hold even more successful summits together in the future.
