FSF chair Draghi to brief in Amsterdam on Monday

AMSTERDAM, Sept 28 (Reuters) - The Financial Stability Forum (FSF) is bringing forward a news conference by chairman Mario Draghi to Monday instead of Tuesday as originally scheduled, the group said in a statement on Sunday.

The FSF, a group including central banks, supervisors and government treasury departments, is holding meetings in Amsterdam on Monday and Tuesday in a long-scheduled session that has gained significance due to the current market turmoil.

The FSF did not give a reason for bringing forward the news conference and a representative of the group was not immediately available for comment.

The meeting is set to begin after a tense weekend for troubled Belgian-Dutch financial group Fortis (FOR.BR), which is under discussion among Belgian and Dutch financial regulators and top bankers because of a sharp selloff in its shares due to market concerns over its liquidity and funding. [nLS251193] The Dutch central bank confirmed it would host the meeting, which will include its governor, Nout Wellink.

Draghi and Wellink are members of the European Central Bank's Governing Council. (Reporting by Reed Stevenson; Editing by Paul Bolding)
