For two weeks in November, Concordia was the learning site for 34 investment professionals from China. “China’s economy is one of the largest in the world, and its financial sectors are without a doubt the world’s most exciting emerging market,” said Professor Lawrence Kryzanowski, who taught the workshop (above).

The visitors took eight days of classes, mainly in Montreal, and seven days of field study in Ottawa, Quebec City, Toronto and Vancouver. The Securities and Investment Management Workshops were developed through the Centre for International Finance and Banking, a Concordia/CIDA initiative begun in 1999 with Xiamen University in China.
