The press release says that Cyprus has been represented at IIFA since 2019 through the Cyprus Investment Funds Association (CIFA), which after intense and targeted efforts succeeded in securing the majority vote of IIFA members to hold the said important event.

CIFA president, Andreas Yiasemides said they are particularly pleased that the 36th IIFA conference will be hosted for the first time in Cyprus, adding that it constitutes the highest honour for CIFA and its members because it is such a significant event, as well as a first-class opportunity for Cyprus to highlight its advantages as a destination for Investment Funds and managers.

"The conference’s participants arrive from every corner of the world, and we could not have a better opportunity to promote our country as an investment destination and an international business centre", he said.
