Qatar Stock Exchange (QSE) organized on Tuesday the bell ringing ceremony with the aim of spreading the financial literacy.
The event comes in response to the invitation of the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) to participate in the World Investor Week initiated by the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO).
Representatives of financial and investment bodies from the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) and Qatar Financial Markets Authority (QFMA), which are partners of QSE in the field of investment awareness and local market development, participated in the bell-ringing ceremony.
QSE is keen to raise investment awareness for the local community with the aim of developing the Qatari market, increasing its competitiveness, and enhancing its economic diversification. It is also keen to enhance financial culture for all segments of society, especially youth, as this goal constitutes an important axis of its strategy and contributes to achieving economic sustainability and supports the human foundations in achieving Qatar National Vision 2030, which aims to build a strong, knowledge-based national economy.
QSE has promoted the investment and economic culture of thousands of students, and is working to bring about positive change in this regard. Since 2013, it has also provided educational programs to about 10,000 people from educational institutions, universities and colleges within the country, in addition to investors, analysts, and representatives of the economic press.
