The reception and gala dinner were followed the next day by the international investor conference titled “Building Financial Futures: Promoting Shareholder Engagement and Financial Literacy”, organized by WFI in collaboration with the European Federation of Investors & Financial Services Users (BETTER FINANCE) and the Italian Association New Savers.
During the panel discussion on the role of stock exchanges in promoting financial literacy among citizens and potential investors, the VZMD President, Kristjan Verbič participated as a speaker. Among other topics, he highlighted the efforts and successes of the civil society initiative "Share SUPPORT", various proceedings initiated by the Association in cases of squeeze-outs and class actions, as well as legislative and regulatory efforts at the national and EU level. Mr. Verbič is actively involved in these efforts as a member of the European Commission’s Financial Services User Group (FSUG) and consultative working groups of the standing committees at the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).
