Astana International Exchange (“AIX”, “Exchange”) is pleased to announce that this year, for the first time, AIX had the honor of hosting the Federation of Euro-Asian Capital Markets (FEAS) in Astana. The program included FEAS Capital Market Talks, FEAS Board Meeting, and FEAS General Assembly – all of which were closed sessions for FEAS members only.
Alongside these internal gatherings, AIX also co-hosted two open-format events: the Tabadul Roadshow, organized jointly with Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) and joined by FEAS members, and a panel session titled FEAS TALKS: Turning Challenges Into Growth Points. Both events attracted a broad audience, offering valuable insights into regional cooperation and capital market development.
The FEAS Talks panel brought together leading exchanges to discuss common priorities, including enhancing liquidity, supporting IPO pipelines, diversifying investor bases, implementing reforms, and modernizing infrastructure. The session highlighted real strategies that are driving growth across the region, while encouraging collaboration and knowledge-sharing among member markets.
The discussions reaffirmed that while each exchange operates in its unique context, closer cooperation is essential to building stronger, more liquid, and more resilient capital markets. The event concluded with a joint commitment to deepen collaboration within the FEAS community and to further strengthen FEAS geography’s position as an attractive destination for global investors.
