Exchanges around the world have united to promote financial literacy, investor protection and financial inclusion, ringing the bell in multiple countries on multiple days all week during World Investor Week (“WIW”) 2022.
WIW is a week-long, global campaign to raise awareness about the importance of investor education and protection and promote financial literacy.
In 2022, a record 83 exchanges held bell ringing ceremonies, workshops and events to drive awareness of the important and necessity of financial literacy.
The World Federation of Exchanges (“WFE”) Ring the Bell campaign is in support of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (“IOSCO”) World Investor Week, which ran from 3 October to 9 October 2022.
In addition, WFE’s monthly Focus magazine for October is a Special Edition which shines a light on Financial Literacy initiatiaves around the world.
You can follow up on the latest articles, photos and videos from WFE members ringing the bell here.
Nandini Sukumar, Chief Executive Officer, the WFE said: “Financial literacy is integral to the mandate that we have as an industry. Exchanges and CCPs place investor protection at the core of the regulated public market model. We strive to foster trust in markets even as we grow these markets. It’s more important than ever as retail investor participation grows. All market infrastructures, whether large or small, whether in a developed market or a frontier market, prioritise investor education at the heart of their business and as a foundation of market integrity.”
