The Malaysia Deposit Insurance Corporation (MDIC) is honoured and delighted to host the 6th IADI Annual Conference and AGM from 31 October to 2 November 2007.

The theme for this year’s Conference is “Deposit Insurance and Consumer Protection”. This is apt given the increasing significance of consumer protection in the financial industry.  The Conference will bring together deposit insurance industry practitioners from across the globe and leading experts in financial services, to discuss and share experiences, views and country lessons. Presenters and participants are expected from over 50 countries including the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, Bank for International Settlements, Islamic Financial Services Board, Asian central banks and banking institutions.

You can expect a highly informative and stimulating conference.

In conjunction with the Conference, MDIC is also organising an Asian Country showcase on 30 October 2007. Selected Asian countries will present the investment potential of their financial sector. This forum will also assist business partners, policymakers, financial industry players, researchers and academics to understand the policies and incentives of the participating countries.

We look forward to welcoming you to Kuala Lumpur!

With warm regards,

J.P. Sabourin
Chair of Executive Council and President of IADI and
Chief Executive Officer of MDIC
