emirates7 - The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) participated in the global "Ring the Bell for Financial Literacy" initiative, which is led by the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) and supported by the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE). The initiative aims to promote financial literacy and protect investors.
As part of its expanded ESG commitment to fostering inclusive financial education, ADX launched a campaign across Abu Dhabi titled "Understanding Financial Investment and How to Invest in the Securities Market." This initiative is designed to boost financial and investment literacy within Abu Dhabi's business ecosystem and wider community.
The program includes a series of workshops organized in partnership with ADX member firms. Recently, ADX, along with broker partner BHM Capital, held two workshops with ADNOC Distribution and the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (DED). These sessions covered various topics, such as an introduction to securities markets, the importance of investments, investment strategies and risk management, and identifying opportunities in publicly listed companies.
This initiative builds on ADX's ongoing efforts to engage with local academic institutions, universities, and business associations, aiming to elevate investment knowledge and improve financial literacy across the UAE.
Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi, Group CEO of ADX, emphasized the exchange's commitment to enhancing financial literacy, describing it as a key element of their strategy. He noted that through the new program, which coincides with the global "Ring the Bell for Financial Literacy" event, ADX seeks to empower Abu Dhabi’s workforce and community by equipping them with the knowledge to participate in capital markets. This initiative is intended to help individuals utilize available investment products to capitalize on growth opportunities in the capital market and achieve their financial goals. Alnuaimi highlighted that a well-informed community plays a crucial role in supporting the long-term growth of the UAE's economy.
ADX is also pursuing further partnerships with leading organizations in the UAE to extend the reach of its financial literacy efforts. By expanding these educational initiatives, ADX aims to a more inclusive investment environment that aligns with Abu Dhabi’s vision of sustainable economic diversification.
