The main purpose of this three-day conference was to highlight the European economies during a European American Economic Forum with keynote speakers and panel discussions. In addition, more than 500 one-on-one meetings were organised with European brokers to introduce Euronext listed companies from Belgium, France, Portugal and the Netherlands, to institutional investors in North America.
The three-day event began at 2pm on May 19 with a panel discussion among chief economists from major financial institutions. This was followed by a panel discussion with American and European government officials and finance industry leaders. The conversation focused on the economic developments in the European market.
The program featured remarks by Bertrand Badré, Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer, World Bank Group, as well as a special address by His Excellency João Vale de Almeida, Ambassador of the European Union to the United States
Pan European Days continued with the Opening Bell® ceremony on May 20 at the New York Stock Exchange when representatives from four of Euronext's markets (Belgium, France, The Netherlands and Portugal) rang the bell to open the market.

Dominique Cerutti said, "Following the success of our first pan-European investor day in 2013, we are continuing the momentum by expanding the event for our European issuers in 2014. Euronext's markets play a major role in financing companies of all sizes and in every sector. In 2013 companies raised €92 billion on our markets, and the positive trend is accelerating in 2014. This event is just one part of our marketing efforts to connect issuers to investors and it is a powerful way of enabling European issuers to raise their visibility and broaden access across this important investor base."
Sponsored by the New York Stock Exchange and Euronext, and in partnership with FTI Consulting, BNY Mellon and the European American Chamber of Commerce New York, the event allows investors to interact with European CEOs and CFOs and learn more about investment opportunities on the Euronext markets. Thanks to the innovative multi-broker approach comprising ING, KBC Securities, Millennium BCP and Société Génerale, the interaction between issuers and investors was maximized during 2 days of one to one meetings taking place on 20 & 21 May 2014. |
