The Annual Meeting and Investor Conference of the World Federation of Investors took place on 25th and 26th September in Vienna. The Annual Meeting and Conference, which were co-organised by the Austrian Association of Investors, took place in the renowned Villa Klimt and at the premises of the Raiffeisen Bank »Sky Lounge«, along with a diverse accompanying programme.

The eminent participants – representatives of 57 national associations of investors, various banks and corporations, Austrian Ministry of Finance and Central Bank, Vienna Stock Exchange and many others – were in the framework of the Conference discussing financial education and banking as well as business activities in Central and Eastern Europe and Russia.

The PanSlovenian Shareholders Association (VZMD) President Mr Kristjan Verbič, also attended the events in Vienna in the framework of this year's 7th tour of the VZMD international business-investment programmes Invest to Slovenia (investo.si) and International Investors` Network (invest-to.net). Mr Verbič arrived in Vienna directly after he had been actively involved in the activities of the Slovenian Business Delegation whose four-day trip to an important Russian region Yaroslavl had been organised by the Public agency SPIRIT Slovenia. 

On this occasion in Vienna the representatives of the World Federation of Investors were otherwise informed about the recent events related to the shocking expropriation of shareholders and bondholders of the Slovenian Banks, and about the letter which has recently been sent by VZMD to important international financial institutions. The eminent participants have expressed their concern and surprise over such conduct and over the inaction of the regulators and the competent institutions.   

Some participants have already heard about these alarming actions and VZMD efforts, since Mr. Verbič, exposed the problems and VZMD endeavours in detail in May this year at the Annual Conference of the International Financial Litigation Network in New York, and in February and April at the Conferences of the European Federation of Financial Services Users at the European Parliament and in Madrid

At the end of this international tour VZMD President presented these acute problems again at the Conference Better Finance in Brussels, where he arrived from Vienna. As a Board Member of the European Federation of Financial Services Users Mr Verbič in Brussels attended the presentation of the Report »Private Pensions: The Real Returns«.

As usually, suitable presentations of companies, institutions and investment projects included in the two VZMD business-investment programmes: investo.si and invest-to.net were also provided this time during all occasions, events and conferences.
