Welcome Note I would like to cordially thank all our guests who attended the first conference for the IFIE – MENA regional subcommittee which was held in Cairo, Egypt on March 15th & 16th,2010. Our conference was titled “ Rebuild trust in MENA region Capital Markets”. It had a main objective to establish and promote high international standards of investor education programmes to be practiced in the MENA Region Capital Markets.

I would like to invite you to take a moment to review the summary of the sessions of the conference and read the materials presented by our distinguished speakers.

I also would like to invite all of the Arabic language readers to review our section of educational books and materials to learn more about investment in securities market as we do strongly believe that the more knowledge an investor gains , the more protected his investments are.

We look forward to sharing with you all your comments and to your participation in our future events.

Yours sincerely

Dr. Ahmed Saad
Chairman
IFIE-MENA
