Sri Lanka has clinched the attention of one of the largest global banking investment media and confab institutions For the first time-and its benchmark global investment publication is ready to start off its Lankan experience with no less than an international investors conference to be held in Colombo, as revealed on 12 May. “This is the first time that we, the Euromoney Magazine, would be holding an investor confab of such a scale in Sri Lanka. We just don’t want to hold a one off confab and leave but we are looking for long term engagement in Sri Lanka. We will also be honoured and delighted to partner with the 2016 May Expo Fair in Sri Lanka” said Tony Shale (CEO-Asia of Euromoney Institutional Investor) on 12 May in Colombo.

CEO Shale was addressing Rishad Bathiudeen (Minister of Industry and Commerce of Sri Lanka) on 12 May at the EDB.

“We are listed in London stock exchange with a market cap of $3 Billion! We are present in 120 locations around the world. This is the first time that we, the Euromoney Magazine, would be holding an investor confab in Sri Lanka in such a global scale. Euromoney championed the global capital market and its growth, and became the prime magazine of the wholesale financial world, its institutions and its users. We are at higher levels of investment-very much at B2B levels, as well as research and international conferences and symposia” said CEO Shale and added: “We are looking at holding an investment conference and in principle agreed to hold the global conference in Colombo this September. Euromoney is looking to bring 250 members of global financial and investment community to this event and another 250 from Sri Lanka. We are here to extend out invite to you to take part in this one-day Global Investment Forum Sri Lanka 2015 event. Our global investors are very keen on Sri Lanka and pushing us to hold the investor confab in Colombo sooner, rather than later. Even though September could be a tight time for Sri Lanka, the international investors too would like to be here around that time before end-of year season arrives-the reason for our timing. We are inviting investors across the globe in all asset classes. We just don’t want to hold a one off confab and leave but we are looking for long term engagement in Sri Lanka-a series of annual confabs in Colombo-starting from this September. We have 100s of niche investment titles and verticals and relevant sectors could be chosen starting with September’s event.”

We invite you to partner with us and take the lead in our investor expo in 2016 show.”
