The Sixth Eurasia Corporate Governance Roundtable Meeting and the joint meeting of South East Europe and Eurasia Corporate Governance Roundtables were held in Istanbul on 15 and 16 February 2006.
The Eurasia meeting focused on stock-taking of recent developments and future reforms in the corporate governance reform process in Eurasia and enforcement through securities regulators and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms.
The joint meeting of the two Roundtables focused on the corporate governance of state-owned enterprises and the corporate governance of banks, topics of great relevance to both regional Roundtables.
The Federation of Euro-Asian Stock Exchanges (FEAS) co-hosted the meetings which were organised in co-operation with the World Bank Group with the support of the Global Corporate Governance Forum and the Japanese Government.
