• ​Global Markets. Leveraging the NYSE's expertise and products to support government and private-sector officials in countries that are working to further develop their economies, markets, and sustainability initiatives.

• ​Thought Leadership. Enhancing the NYSE's substantial expertise at major global policy gatherings where the role of NYSE's listed companies, U.S. capital markets, and economy are central to the conversation.

• ​Programming. Convening leaders in politics, commerce, and finance to underscore and advocate for the vital role of public companies in driving inclusive growth to underpin the long-term competitiveness of the U.S. capital markets.

"I have always recognized the tremendous value that free enterprise generates, uplifting people and society here and abroad, even in nations where the power of capital markets is only now starting to flourish,"said John Tuttle, NYSE Vice Chairman and President of the NYSE Institute."The NYSE Institute will use its resources, expertise, and relationships to further support public companies, advance sound public policy, and foster economic growth around the globe."
