Manah, Oman – [28th April 2025] – In a continued effort to promote financial awareness and investment culture among the younger generation, Oman’s capital market sector—represented by the Financial Services Authority (FSA), Muscat Stock Exchange (MSX), and Muscat Clearing & Depository Company (MCD)—successfully organized the second edition of the “Stock Adventure” workshop. The event was hosted at the Oman Across Ages Museum in the Wilayat of Manah. It forms part of a broader series of initiatives aimed at enhancing financial literacy and promoting an investment culture in the securities sector.

The workshop targeted student entrepreneurs from Mohammed bin Ruh Al-Kindi School for Boys (Grades 7–9), a segment considered vital for building a more financially aware and sustainable economic future. Through a variety of educational and interactive activities, the workshop introduced participants to key concepts, including the structure of Oman’s securities market, savings methods, and both short- and long-term investment strategies.

Participants engaged in a simulated trading experience that simplified the buying and selling of stocks, as well as profit calculation, helping to instill the principles of responsible and informed investing. The sessions also emphasized the long-term benefits of saving and investment, reinforcing how sound financial practices can yield sustainable returns over time.

Commenting on his experience, Mohammed bin Mousa Al-Zakwani, one of the participating students, said: “I am delighted to have taken part in this workshop, which gave me practical solutions for investing my money. I currently run a small business with the support of my parents, and this experience opened new horizons for me in the world of investment. I am very excited to start applying what I have learned.”

This initiative reflects the ongoing efforts of Oman’s capital market institutions to unify financial awareness campaigns and build a generation equipped with financial and economic literacy. It also aligns with the national vision of empowering youth to make prudent investment decisions and to safeguard themselves against the risks of financial fraud in a world witnessing rapid digital economic advancements.
