AMERC Annual Meeting

The Regional Committee for Africa and the Middle East (AMERC) held its annual meeting in Abu Dhabi on 11 November 2025, with the participation of the committee members and the participation of the UASA General Secretariat, represented by the Secretary General.

The committee discussed key matters related to IOSCO’s workplan and AMERC activities, alongside thematic sessions on deepening and diversifying capital markets, regional market integration, and supervisory cross-border cooperation. Members also shared updates on market developments, regulatory initiatives, and emerging risks across their jurisdictions.

In parallel, the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) hosted a conference on the sidelines of the meeting, focusing on key topics including tokenisation as a natural progression or a challenge to securities, and the rise of private credit with its associated benefits and concerns. The sessions brought together experts and regulators to discuss emerging trends in financial innovation and their implications for capital markets, regulation, and investor protection across the region.
