TESTIMONIALS
what people are saying about the previous events.
I think for me what I always look forward to in an AICIF is the opportunity for interaction between the participants in the sector and the regulators. AICIF creates a platform whereby in the course of the discussions and interactions, players in the Market state their experiences, challenges and concerns while the Regulators have the opportunity to clarify or take the feedback for the purposes of standardization and improvement.
