Event Overview
Brief Description
                        This is THE annual event where professionals from wholesale financial markets community meet, debate and socialize.
                        The ACI World Congress is the prominent event for ACI Financial Markets Association (ACI FMA), having a long history since it was first organized in 1955, when ACI FMA was established in Paris.
                        In recent years, the ACI World Congress was held in Singapore in September 2023 and in Aqaba (Jordan) in October 2024, and both events welcomed the presence of hundreds of international delegates.
                        Paris has held the ACI World Congress in six different occasions and has been offered to host it again in June 2025, an honour given to the City where ACI FMA started 70 years ago.
                        Therefore, ACI FMA and ACI France AFTB are proud to jointly organise the ACI 2025 World Congress (63rd Edition) and celebrate the 70th Anniversary of ACI FMA, allowing us to fly the flag for Paris as a Global Financial Markets Hub.
                        At the ACI World Congresses, representatives from the following institutions usually are in attendance: commercial banks, investment banks, debt issuers, corporates, investors, brokers, hedge funds, asset managers, pension funds, central banks, fintech firms, insurance companies, securities regulators, family offices, market infrastructure providers, and the press (amongst others).
                        Mark your calendars for Thursday 19th June & Friday 20th June 2025.
