Publishing Announcement: IMF/World Bank Board of Governors Annual Meetings, Singapore 2006
Faircount Media Group’s publishing division is proud to announce the forthcoming release of its Delegate publication for the IMF/World Bank Board of Governors Annual Meeting, taking place in Singapore between 11th and 20th September 2006.
Taking place outside Washington, D.C. every three years, the Annual Meetings are the largest and most significant gathering of global financial representatives in the world.
16,000 delegates and attendees, including Ministers of Finance and Governors of Central Banks from the 184 IMF-World Bank Group member countries, will meet with key members of the business arena, including commercial organisations, public and private investment institutions and NGOs, to discuss the course of global economic development and formulate underpinning policy strategies.
Singapore 2006 is especially significant because it represents a unique opportunity for Singapore and its ASEAN neighbours to showcase their economic resurgence and growth as major financial forces in the international marketplace, and will act as a spur to regional and global trade. The meetings will give further impetus to the process, currently underway, aimed at forging an interlinked securities marketplace within ASEAN, and the development of ASEAN equity indices, that will, in turn, generate greater awareness of equity investment opportunities in South East Asia.
Faircount's delegate publication has been officially authorised for distribution by The IMF/World Bank Joint Secretariat for at the 2006 Annual Meetings. The publication, which falls within the highly acclaimed Words into Action series, will be a focal point for Singapore 2006 and is expected to stimulate lively debate during the meeting.
Commencing with a foreword from the meeting’s host, this glossy, 200 page, A4 publication will contain exclusive interviews with senior IMF and World Bank Officials, Governors of Central Banks, Government Ministers and Captains Industry, plus feature articles by renowned experts in relevant fields of economic and social development.
Referring to the event and Faircount role, Peter Antell, Faircount Media Group's Vice President commented:
"Faircount is pleased, once again, to be associated with a hugely important event. Given Asia's economic resurgence, it is especially significant that the event is taking place in Singapore, where it will focus attention on the region in general. We are confident that on a global level, our publication publication will stimulate lively debate and assist delegates in the process in forecasting and planning for future investment, growth and stability. Overall, Asia is undoubtedly Faircount's fastest growth market and the Singapore06 publication is another signal of our intention to expand our portfolio of titles in the region".
