TCMA Annual Report 2021 23 For the sake of a greener future and sustainable living, a total of 25,000 seed ball shootings were made using drones in the name of participants of the Summit. The Association carried on with various activities in communication, training and events to promote consciousness of saving up and investing. Our investors have always been our unchanged focus in this respect. Despite all the restrictions of the pandemic days, we continued with our investor education efforts. We have efficiently and successfully carried through the fifth edition of the World Investor Week that we have co-organized with the Capital Markets Board of Türkiye and Borsa İstanbul. During the World Investor Week, participants made up of investors, company representatives and students followed the livestreamed sessions that dwelled on 15 different topics that were participated by 62 speakers comprised of subject matter experts, market professionals and academics. We reached 11,500 people in total over the course of three days. We have held the TCMA Golden Bull Awards ceremony that we have been organizing for the six consecutive years. Within the scope of the recognition program we have initiated as the Turkish Capital Markets Association to contribute to the development and recognition of capital markets and to add visibility to success stories, we presented awards to our valuable members. Organized since 2014 as an annual event of our Association with the aim of increasing consciousness about financial literacy in our country by raising awareness of the importance of budgeting, saving up, and investing in capital markets and drawing on the social transformative power of cinema to do that, “Camera In Your Hand, Future In Your Pocket Short Film Contest” took place with its seventh edition in 2021. With its theme defined as “Soldout Lives” this year, our short film contest will continue to be held in the coming years. Distinguished Members, We have embarked upon a game-changing period in the world economy due to the rapid change that was driven by the pandemic and digitalization, global inflation, and geopolitical risks. We need to encourage foreign investors’ interest in our national capital markets, as well as domestic investors’. In keeping with this understanding, we will place our investors in our focus in line with our goals in 2022, as we did in previous years, and we will relentlessly carry on with our efforts and initiatives to help with the sustainable growth of the Turkish economy and for flourishing our capital markets. I would like to extend my thanks to you, our esteemed members who always stand by us, and to the members of our Board of Directors and Board of Auditors for their invaluable contributions. Yours sincerely, İbrahim H. ÖZTOP Chairperson
