CMB - OzU Cooperation Agreement

The “Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation in Education, Research and Development” awarded between the Capital Markets Board of Turkey (CMB) and Özyeğin University was signed on 21 May 2010, Friday at a ceremony held with the participation of Vedat Akgiray, President of CMB, and Hüsnü Özyeğin, Chairman of Özyeğin University’s Board of Trustees.

The aim of the MoU is to enhance theoretical information of CMB experts while contributing to industrial knowledge of Özyeğin University students through internship programs and real-life projects. The MoU will also serve as a platform for joint researches by enabling information sharing between the two institutions.

According to the CMB’s Department of Research and OzU’s Center for Computational Finance,  2010 and 2011 will be the  years of “country and credit risk”.  The agreement to be signed will facilitate both institutions to conduct joint studies for one year to examine the bankruptcy risk of countries, especially those in Europe, starting with Greece, and their potential effects on Turkey. The cooperation will allow measuring the susceptibility of Turkey against financial crises and enhancing knowledge of financial markets in Turkey through a series of seminars and trainings.
