So bringing together business leaders from different industries, geographies, different levels across the G20 — this is interesting. I mean you don't often have the opportunity to talk freely, open-mindly about these kind of topics and discuss the challenges and thoughts of G20 of today. The Co-Chairing was an interesting experience, because in the end of the session you had a different perspective, different people to integrate.

I thought about it before doing the Co-Chairing: one of the important things is not to lose somebody during the process. Arriving here I saw very fascinating group of people, acting together, discussing together and for me the first step towards understanding GY was to see that this is like a market place where international global people can, without borders in thinking, be together and this is for me the most important aspect.

GY for me stands for creating a global world of communication. I think GY is a fascinating opportunity, where people can start to communicate and start to discuss with each other, have the opportunity to meet people from Europe, from Brazil, Australia or Russia, and Italy, and Spain and to share experiences.

That is the fascinating world of GY. The whole financial world is today seen a lot in the media. We have here the opportunity to show that we are interested to have a dialog with a lot of people who want to change the world, to develop a new way of acting together. It's a really good opportunity for people from India because this is the second time we had a delegation to GY Summit. I'm only one person but I hope that probably the message from us will be that more and more Indian participants should be here, because it gives real good chance to interact with people from many countries and to get to know all sorts of issues, global issues which are current and which need to be addressed in future.

The evening events were really enjoyable — especially the day before we had concert over here — it was really enjoyable. I expect that we will be able to put together a few recommendations to the G20 governments and that these recommendations will contribute to improving the working conditions and living conditions of citizens across the world.

I think we all, participants of GY Summit, care about our planet and we are not indifferent to what is happening in the world. The organization is fabulous. I can only say the words of compliments and I have been very impressed with both: the quality of participants and the way the event is organized. I would be very delighted to continue and I definitely recommend this event to my colleagues in Schneider.

Having been nominated by DSM, I felt very honored to be able to attend this event as it had always been a dream for me to participate in such a venue. The GY is for me the small version of the WEF and a learning ground for young executives to exchange thoughts and ideas, make connections and work on the future with other smart people. Thank you so much for a challenging, entertaining and worthwhile GY Summit event. I thoroughly enjoyed the people, the atmosphere and the challenging opportunity presented to us.

It's pleasure for me to be invited for the GY Summit. It's been interesting two and a half days of work. There was a lot of discussion. I think at the end we have been in a position to have a positive dialogue between different members of the Committee.

And we have been able to find and put together a nice compromise on a number of controversial matters. We are fortunate that we had participants across a multiple different countries across the world, from different types of organisations, from different sectors.

We had a very interesting lively debated times. I think it was of a very high quality. I realized the depth of the conversation to be going on in the each of different committees.

I think the whole concept behind the GY is great. The working process was wonderful. We share all information and all the practices of how to fight corruption in our country. We are very surprised that there is actually only one conference — United Nation Conference about fighting corruption and also UOECD conference against bribery.

But I think not all the countries have ratified and implemented the conference, maybe we should give some views, some recommendations that all G20 countries and other countries can implement the United Nation Conference and UOECD conference against bribery. There have been discussions that fighting corruption, money laundering and also bribery and financial terrorism are linked together, so every country should be aware about these issues, this not only a problem of developed countries.

My president attended GY Summit last year in Mexico, he asked senior level manager in Bank Mandiri, he shared his views of G20 of last years, so this is a good opportunity.

We are going to send our senior manager to GY Summit. I think it's a very good opportunity for me to attend GY Summit. This is first time I have attended an international Summit with different views and different subjects. I usually attend workshops or meetings about banking, just only banking but there are more issues we can discuss together.

For me it was a big honor to come here because I think it's a good forum in which many countries in the world including the emerging countries can discuss and debate all the problems that they have and try to come up with some suggestions for the future. I think GY is such an important event in the world because as the young leaders we have to tell the world what we think and what we should accomplish in the next few years, because we have a responsibility to make things change and make a better world.

The GY events are nice because you actually have a lot of real work during the day it's so much fun to work with a bunch of people from all around the world with different backgrounds — this is very interesting. And then at night you can socialize, talk to those same people by the way with a more personal feel — this makes the entire experience, so much fun. My favorite event was the opening Gala ceremony. Our company Desjardins, we got an award for our 3-year friendship with the GY.

So it was quite nice experience for us to receive that award. There was no question of whether to participate or not actually when the invitation arrived because, for our company, it is incredibly important what exactly is on G20 agenda, not only this year, but in general. What was specifically interesting about the Summit, actually, was the combination of participants which attended.

The executive level of the biggest international corporations and some of the real big and significant Russian corporations, as soon as we are in Russia we are speaking about this, representatives of the international non-governmental organizations as well.

I believe, this is an incredible group of people, I believe, team of people, who got together in St.
