BHB joins financial literacy promotion

MANAMA: Bahrain Bourse (BHB) joined exchanges around the world in promoting financial literacy and boost financial inclusion during the fifth annual World Investor Week (WIW).

The self-regulated multi-asset marketplace is an affiliate member of the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), which organises the week-long global campaign to raise awareness about the importance of investor education and protection. This year’s edition ended last Sunday.

Parallel to the IOSCO WIW, Bahrain Bourse participated in the World Federation of Exchanges’ annual ‘Ring the Bell for Financial Literacy’ initiative to join 78 other global exchanges holding virtual bell ringing ceremonies, workshops, and events to drive awareness of the importance of financial literacy.

The initiative included producing a series of awareness videos featuring 17 key participants from various listed companies and educational insitutions as well as other key stakeholders to highlight and showcase Bahrain Bourse’s awareness programmes.
