Samad Saleem for P@SHA CEC 2024! I’ve experienced the journey of building my business from the ground up, bootstrapping it from scratch without any investment, dealing with day to day challenges, impossibilities and roadblocks. This firsthand experience provides me with a deep understanding of the journey especially that of 'Emerging SMEs’. I believe that I am from among the majority of you, struggling and trying their best to leave a mark in the industry. My vision also includes - Fair tax treatment for salaries - More resources for scaling up - Market expansion into GCC and EU - Upgraded IT infrastructure - A united voice for our sector No jargon, no politics. Just a commitment to getting things done. Support me, and let's drive real change. #vote4change #SamadforSMEs

Small and Medium sized enterprises represent 99% of all businesses in the European Union, but need help finding fresh sources of finance to increase productive investment, Kalin Anev Janse told #Eurofi Financial Forum 2024 in Budapest on Wednesday. Harmonising financial markets through Capital Markets Union offers the solution to: 🔷Expand risk capital 🔷Help start-ups and venture capital 🔷Finance the green and digital transition This creates more space for banks to support SMEs which remain the backbone of the economy. #ESMeuro

Enabling a dynamic market in #sustainability and green investments is the key for #EnergyEfficiency and #EnergyTransition to succeed. The fragmentation of the EU financial market infrastructure remains a mayor challenge to the EU #competitiveness.. that seems to be a ‘talk of the town’. This lack of integration creates inefficiencies, increases costs on businesses (especially SMEs), and reduces the ability of financial institutions to scale operations across MS borders/sectors, leading to a less dynamic EU market environment related to sustainability. Consolidating these fragmented systems is crucial for energy efficiency investments and enhancing EU innovation. Glad to participate at this much needed initiative by European Commission DG FISMA this morning. Also on web stream https://lnkd.in/ebp-bSHD Important point raised by Karolina Rzońca-Bajorek, FCCA (CFO, Asseco Poland ) that too comprehensive EU financial market consolidation might result in additional challenges for very-often crucial local and national investors, that are the main funders of smaller companies and local investment projects. #CapitalMarkets #Financing #trading #stockexchange #Taxonomy #Swift #DemandMarket

Vietnam will remove a requirement for overseas investors to fully pre-fund equity trades, marking the country’s latest effort to boost its chances of being reclassified as an emerging market. The new rule takes effect Nov. 2, the finance ministry said in a circular late Wednesday. It resolves a long-standing barrier that has prevented rating agencies from upgrading the nation from its frontier status, which has discouraged large funds from investing in that market. Currently, overseas investors must transfer 100% of funds before buying securities.
