CMA Starts its Visits to Directorates General of Education in the Governorates to Introduce the GCC Smart Investor Award

Believing on the importance of raising financial and investment awareness and using creative methods to cover a wide group of the society, the Capital Market Authority (CMA) continues its effort of introducing the GCC Smart Investor Award, as a part of the GCC investment awareness program, “Mulim”.  This week, the CMA will start organizing introductory meetings in the Directorates General of Education in the governorates, in collaboration with the Ministry of education.  Based on the visits timetable covering all Directorates General of Education in governorates, the first meeting targeted career guidance teachers and plastic arts teachers in schools under the Ministry of education in North Sharqiyah Governorate.

The CMA, through these meetings, seeks to introduce the award and enable teachers to transfer its message to students to ensure participation of talented students in fields of digital and traditional drawing, videography, photography and creative writing with visual and creative works on financial and investment culture.

The CMA participates in this joint awareness campaign with the GCC countries for the third time under the title, Mulim, which aims to raise awareness in the GCC and uses many methods to spread awareness messages.  One of which is the GCC Smart Investor Award that started in the previous year and is currently going on.  It targets students of schools and universities as well as the public in many categories: videography, drawing, photography and writing.

The award aims at motivating citizens and residents in the GCC Countries to produce awareness content and present creative ideas related to saving and investment, raising financial awareness that enhances the ability to plan for the future properly, and taking sound financial decisions to accomplish financial stability.  The award also seeks to increasing the level of financial culture through gaining the required skills and learning the effective ways for using financial resources successfully.
