The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) is organising a special anniversary conference to mark 30 years of supervision on April 29 at the Hilton Nicosia.
"This is a very special milestone for CySEC, giving us the opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to continuous improvement and modernisation of the sector," CySEC Chair Dr. George Theocharides said.
According to a CySEC press release published on Wednesday, the opening address of the conference will be delivered by president Nikos Christodoulides, while the conference will also feature a high-level discussion between Verena Ross, Chair of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), and Jean-Paul Servais, Chair of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), focusing on key topics such as regulation, new products, and the evolution of the markets.
Renowned artificial intelligence expert and author, Huy Nguyen Trieu, will deliver a keynote speech on the third wave of artificial intelligence.
It is added that this will be followed by a panel discussion on artificial intelligence, featuring Carlo Comporti, Commissioner of CONSOB, Claude Marx, Director General of the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF), and Dr. Vassiliki Lazarakou, Chair of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission.
The announcement notes that since 1996, CySEC has evolved into a recognised authority in capital markets supervision, investment services regulation, and investor protection. Over the past 30 years, it has overseen the significant growth of the Cyprus capital market and the expansion of regulated entities operating in an increasingly complex European and international financial environment.
"This conference brings together European regulators to discuss recent developments and the future of financial markets. Investor protection remains at the heart of our collective efforts, driven by innovation and cooperation,” he added.
It is further stated that the event will be followed by an honorary ceremony, honouring former CySEC Chairs who have contributed to its growth, and a cocktail reception.
