As part of our visit to Tbilisi, we were delighted to continue our university outreach with the International School of Economics at Tbilisi State University (ISET), the only CFA Institute Affiliated University in Georgia.

ISET has established itself as one of the region’s leading institutions, with a strong commitment to academic excellence, global standards, and preparing the next generation of finance and economics professionals. Its vision and dedication to high-quality education make it a natural partner in advancing the investment profession across Georgia.

Although students were already on their summer break, we had the pleasure of meeting with ISET’s academic leadership to discuss opportunities for deeper collaboration and future initiatives that will help strengthen the finance profession in the region.

We were also delighted to welcome Prof. Vakhtang Chkareuli from BTU (Business and Technology University) and Prof. Erekle Pirveli from Caucasus University. Their participation enriched our discussions and created a valuable opportunity to exchange perspectives on finance education, research, and the development of future talent across Georgia.

Our sincere thanks to the ISET team for their warm hospitality and for their continued commitment to excellence in finance education. We look forward to building on this strong relationship and expanding our collaboration with universities across Georgia in the years ahead.

Special thanks to Rob Langrick, CFA, for sharing his global perspective and valuable insights, Loukas Dedes, CFA, for his continued support in strengthening our regional engagement, to Nino Kurdiani, CFA, for all her support and Sinan Veziroğlu, President of CFA Society Istanbul, for their contributions throughout our visit.

During our visit to Georgia, we had the pleasure of meeting with the leadership of the National Bank of Georgia, as well as CFA charterholders and CFA Program candidates from across the organization.

The National Bank of Georgia is a strong advocate of professional excellence and has built a culture that actively supports employees pursuing globally recognized qualifications. We were particularly impressed by the Bank’s comprehensive support for CFA Program candidates, including full reimbursement of exam fees upon successfully passing each level and dedicated paid leave for employees taking the exams. This commitment reflects the Bank’s long-term investment in talent development and the highest standards of professionalism and ethics.

Our discussions focused on the evolving needs of the financial sector, the value of professional education, and opportunities to further strengthen collaboration in developing investment professionals across the region.

We were also pleased to learn more about the Bank’s long-standing commitment to supporting professional certifications, including the CFA Program. We believe this is an excellent example of how financial regulators can invest in the development of their people while contributing to stronger, more resilient capital markets. We are delighted to highlight this best practice and hope it encourages similar initiatives across the region.

As CFA Society Istanbul, covering Türkiye, Azerbaijan and Georgia, we sincerely thank the National Bank of Georgia for its warm hospitality, continued partnership, and leadership in supporting the CFA Program and the broader investment profession.

We were delighted to visit SOCAR Türkiye and meet with CEO Elchin Ibadov for a highly engaging discussion.

Our conversation focused on professional education, talent development, and opportunities to support the continued growth of finance and investment professionals in Türkiye and the broader region.

🚨 Upcoming Webinar | 8 April Wednesday, 6.30 PM

CFA Society Istanbul is pleased to host a webinar on:

“Reimagining Global Equity Allocation: Integrating Factor-Based Country Investing with AI-Driven Macro Intelligence”

Our speaker, Sailesh Radha, is the Founder & CEO of Borealis Global Analytics, where he develops AI-driven frameworks for global equity allocation and macro analysis. He is the pioneer of the Medium-Term Country Yield (CY-M) methodology and has published research in leading journals such as the Journal of Portfolio Management and the Journal of Index Investing. Earlier in his career, he worked on sovereign and macro analysis during the European debt crisis, contributing to research on government balance sheets and global macro dynamics.

His research brings a structured approach to global equity allocation by combining country-level factor signals with forward-looking macro insights.

👉 In this session, we’ll explore:
* How to build country allocation models using factor signals
* How to turn macro analysis into actionable insights with AI
* How to integrate both into a coherent portfolio construction process

As in previous editions, live audience polls captured participants’ macroeconomic expectations, adding a dynamic and interactive dimension to the session. With strong engagement from our members, the panel once again stood out as a highlight of the year.

We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to QNB for their generous support and excellent coordination. In particular, we thank Köksal Çoban and Cenk Akıncılar for graciously hosting us, as well as all QNB colleagues whose professionalism and dedication contributed to the seamless execution of the event.
