Previously FEAS website has been updated for two times, and this was the third time that FEAS Secretariat updates the website. The website is built after a thorough analysis and research, to find the best possible design and solution for our federation: the core ideas that are put under building the website is showing people, showing faces, speaking about the federation with its member’s voices. The updated site includes two main parts, one for general public and the second part for only FEAS Members use. The website is built using two main brand colors. The design is developed by FEAS team, taking into consideration global trends and federation's needs. Within our team, when we are referring to our website, we personify our website and say that it's a 25 years old person, so FEAS website is: young, modern, trendy, enthusiastic, smart, and curious about trying new things, risky, who needs to be loved and who needs a lot of attention. There is a saying that you have 2.7 seconds to catch someone’s attention and when it comes to websites, it says, that the average person spends 15 seconds on your website. So FEAS Website knows that it has just 15 seconds to deliver the right information to its audience, and it will do its best to succeed. 10 Yearbook 2020 COVID-19 Repository of Actions With headlines repeating the warnings about the spread of the COVID-19 and its potential effects, companies need guidance and special business continuity plan on how best to address the situation with regards to their employees.

  • Cooperation Among the Stock Exchanges of the Oic Member Countries
    Journal of Economic Cooperation, 27 -3 (2006), 121-162 COOPERATION AMONG THE STOCK EXCHANGES OF THE OIC MEMBER COUNTRIES SESRTCIC In response to the increased competition prevailing in the international financial markets, national stock exchanges around the world recently made several attempts to upgrade their cooperation and improve their integration. Those attempts took often the form of coalitions, common trading platforms, mergers, associations, federations and unions. Like others, the OIC countries have recently intensified their efforts to promote cooperation among their stock exchanges with a view to developing and consolidating a mechanism for a possible form of integration among themselves. This paper reviews the experiences of various stock exchange alliances established at regional and international levels and draws some lessons for the OIC countries’ stock exchanges in terms of the need for harmonising their physical, institutional and legal frameworks and policies and sharing their investor base. 1. INTRODUCTION As the international trade and financial flows accelerated, the global economy witnessed an increase in the pace of integration. This process of globalisation is most evidently observed in the capital and financial markets. One important element that has led to such a result is the technological advancement in the information and telecommunications sector. Hence, financial transactions became instantaneous and the information guiding investments open to everybody. In this context, technological advancements and the resulting accelerated flow of information have increased efficiency, fairness, transparency and safety in the international financial and capital markets. 122 Journal of Economic Cooperation As those developments introduced new prospects and benefits to the stock markets all around the world, they increased competition among the financial markets, securities exchanges in particular.

  • 2020 Market Highlights
    2020 Market Highlights Summary 2020 was an extraordinary year for everyone, perhaps rather too eventful. The Covid-19 pandemic, the US presidential election, Brexit, the resignation of Japan’s prime minister Shinzo Abe and increased tension between the US and China created vast economic uncertainty and a flood of pessimistic forecasts. In March we saw market volatility levels comparable only to those of the Great Financial Crisis of 2008 and for months on end, normal working, travel, and leisure arrangements were severely disrupted. When we look at the data, the magnitude of the shock is evident, particularly in March. But what is remarkable is that despite the exceptional circumstances and even during the worst days of the crisis, markets remained open and functioning. In addition, after the peak in uncertainty observed in March, markets quickly recovered. By the end of July, most indicators registered a quick reversal to the activity levels seen before the pandemic, reflecting a strong confidence in the markets and in their role in supporting the economy. Towards the end of the year, the news of the development and approval of several Covid-19 vaccines, the final agreement between the UK and the EU, and the outcome of the US elections seemed to have boosted the confidence of investors and issuers, driving markets to end the year on a high note. Key Indicators Equities • After a sharp drop (20.7%) in Q1, domestic market capitalisation quickly recovered, reaching pre-pandemic levels by the end of Q2. • In November 2020, global market capitalisation passed the 100 USD trillion mark for the first time, ending the year at 109.21 USD trillion, up 19.7% when compared with the end of 2019.
