The IFRS Foundation Trustees have convened in Panama for the first time, emphasising the region's significance in shaping international accounting and sustainability standards.
The Trustees' meeting, held from 17 to 19 October, underscores Latin America's role in the global financial landscape. Discussions with local stakeholders and support for sustainability standards from the Superintendency of Banks of Panama affirm the region's commitment to transparency and sustainable finance. The Foundation's global reach and commitment to fostering sustainable practices were highlighted by key figures, including Chair Erkki Liikanen and Isabel Saint Malo, a Trustee and former Vice President of Panama.
