AECSD Chairman
Welcome to the AECSD & AMEDA İstanbul Summit 2024. This year marks a historic occasion as we bring together members of both the Association of Eurasian Central Securities Depositories (AECSD) and the Africa & Middle East Depositories Association (AMEDA) with the vision of “Bridging Markets, Bridging Continents.”
AMEDA President
The theme of this year's conference, "Building the Future of Capital Markets in Eurasia, Africa, and the Middle East: The Role of Central Securities Depositories (CSDs)," aligns perfectly with our association's mission and vision.
AECSD & AMEDA İstanbul Summit 2024 is designed to explore emerging technologies and future opportunities in capital markets.
Collaboration between member institutions will be encouraged, best practices in the sector will be shared, and actionable outputs such as comprehensive reports and webinars will be produced.
The Summit will focus on critical areas such as capital market operations, financial technologies and business development, information security and risk management. AECSD & AMEDA İstanbul Summit 2024 aims to band together the participants of the leading capital markets, financial institutions and financial technology organizations of Eurasia, Africa and Middle East to further enhance the integration in the region.
The foundation for the subsequent formation of the Association of Eurasian Central Securities
Depositories (AECSD) was initiated in 2001 by the Central Securities Depositories of the Commonwealth of
Independent Stated (CIS) countries. The
formal establishment of AECSD occurred in Moscow in 2004 by the signing of the Resolution outlining the
creation of the Association.
The aim of the Association is to develop and expand inter-institutional securities depository
operations, create a common space for central securities depositories and integrate them into global
depository systems.
Merkezi Kayıt Kuruluşu (MKK) is a member of AECSD since 2015. Since September 2023, MKK CEO and Board
Member Dr. Ekrem ARIKAN is the term Chairman of the Association, and the AECSD Summit will be held in
İstanbul in 2024 with the coordination of MKK.
AMEDA was founded on April 27, 2005, and held its inaugural meeting in New York before the CSD 8th conference. This non-profit organization is made up of Central Securities Depositories and Clearing Houses in Africa and the Middle East.
The primary objective of AMEDA is to provide a platform for its members to exchange information and experiences, while also supporting the development of local markets through mutual cooperation. Additionally, AMEDA aims to promote best practices in services such as depository, clearing, settlement, efficiency, risk management, corporate governance, and other related areas on a global scale.
Merkezi Kayıt Kuruluşu A.Ş. (MKK) was established in 2001 to respond to the registration and trust needs of the developing Turkish capital markets. As the Central Securities Depository of the Turkish capital markets, MKK provides its members with depository services, data services, corporate governance and investor services. MKK also offers in-house developed data and technology systems and platforms to local and foreign capital and financial markets as part of its role as an R&D center.
Along with AECSD and AMEDA memberships, MKK is also a member of ACG (Asia Pacific Central Securities Depository Group), ECSDA (European Central Securities Depositories Association), and ISSA (International Securities Services Association).
