🇰🇿 💡 Practical Note: The Development of the #Banking Sector within the Astana International Financial Centre (#AIFC) Since its establishment, the #AIFC has generated significant interest by developing its financial services sector, particularly in banking. 👉 The #financial ecosystem in the AIFC was designed to attract foreign investment, and various incentives have been introduced to encourage the growth of both traditional and Islamic banking businesses.

As Greece successfully concludes its pivotal role in the restructuring of its banking sector, we are marking a significant milestone in the European banking landscape. The Hellenic Financial Stability Fund has played an essential part in this journey, ensuring that the transition back to private ownership is both smooth and aligned with our mission to safeguard financial stability.   Our recent divestment activities are part of a broader European trend as governments draw the bailout era to a close, with Greece leading by example. Through this process, HFSF has not only fulfilled its mandate but also demonstrated how strong regulatory frameworks and strategic foresight can facilitate economic recovery and build investor confidence.   I had the opportunity to discuss these developments and the broader implications for the European banking sector with Bloomberg and Mr. Sotiris Nikas, where we explored the evolving role of banks and the potential for consolidation across Europe. As the state pulls back from its protective role, I am confident that the strong foundations we have helped build will continue to foster growth and stability in the years to come.   You can read the full article: #HFSF #Leadership #FinancialStability #BankingSector #Growth
