Turkey’s Istanbul to host global finance summit in September

Global financial experts will meet in Turkey in late September for the second Istanbul Finance Summit on the revitalization of the global economy, Xinhua reported. This year’s summit, titled "Towards a Global Recovery: Experience and Challenges," will be held on Sept. 28-29 in Turkey’ s largest city Istanbul and will feature a panel discussion at the ministerial level.

Omer Faruk Unal, president of the executive board of the summit, was quoted as saying that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan would deliver the opening remarks at the summit.

A total of 560 delegates from nearly 50 countries attended the inaugural summit last year.

The Istanbul Finance Summit aims to provide an annual platform for state-of-the-art discussions on the current state and future direction of global finance.
