Its consultants are highly specialized, academically qualified individuals with extensive experience and involvement in a number of high profile transactions, both in Cyprus and abroad. MAP S.Platis has played a leading and crucial role in licensing, regulating and shaping the internal audit and compliance procedures for the great number of European Investment Firms. It provides advisory services during the licensing process, as well as the actual setting-up of these firms. The long experience and track record of the specialised teams of MAP S.Platis have gained the firm the insightful and practical understanding of its clients' business and its clients' needs that it maintains today. It is precisely for this reason that even the Regulators seek the advice and professional training of MAP S.Platis - especially on FX matters.

Particularly, as regards FX licensing in Cyprus and the European Union, overall, MAP S.Platis has been, single-handedly, the driving force behind the registration of the first ever MiFID-licensed FX Investment Firm in the European Union, whilst today in Cyprus, it maintains an exceptional market share in licensing, training and consulting with over 75% of all FX firms on the island.

During the Summit, Dr. Stelios Platis, Managing Director of MAP S.Platis and Chairman of the Association of Cyprus International Investment Firms (ACIIF), will give a presentation, on the current regulatory environment in the European Union and, specifically, the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID), by reference to the Cyprus implementation of MiFID.

According to Dr. Platis, the forex market has recently become of key interest to Cyprus. "The forex market is the largest and most liquid in the world with over 3,9 trillion USD traded daily," says Platis. "In the last two years, Cyprus has seen the influx of important forex players establishing a presence on the island, seeking to become licensed under the EU regulatory framework that Cyprus provides. This has led to Cyprus being at the forefront of this booming market. However, there are many challenges around the regulation and procedures in this sector, not only in Europe but on an international level".
