- BME's training centre, which has taught more than 137,500 students over its three decades of history, strengthens its presence in Latin America
Instituto BME, BME's training centre, has signed a collaboration agreement with the Dominican Republic Stock Exchange (BVRD). The inter-institutional agreement seeks to promote financial education in both countries and contribute to the development of capital markets through virtual training courses.
The cooperation between the two institutions will consist of the creation and implementation of financial information programmes, including workshops, webinars and courses aimed at financial sector professionals, individual investors and the general public interested in increasing their financial literacy. With this agreement, BME Institute and BVRD reaffirm their commitment to promoting financial education and their vocation to support the growth of the capital markets through education and continuous training.
Enrique Castellanos, Director of Instituto BME, explains that ‘we are very pleased with this agreement, which will help professionals and investors in both countries. The promotion of financial education is essential for citizens to make the right investment decisions, which has a positive impact on society as a whole.
Elianne Vilchez Abreu, Executive Vice President of the BVRD, said ‘The BVRD reinforces its commitment to the development of education and professionalization of the securities market through this strategic alliance, allowing us to expand the scope and diversify the educational content. This collaboration gives us the opportunity to offer innovative and accessible training programmes for all, fostering a more inclusive market that is prepared to face the challenges of the future.
A few weeks ago, Instituto BME announced a collaboration agreement with the Bolivian Catholic University ‘San Pablo’. Both collaboration agreements show the commitment of BME's training centre to the promotion of quality education and training in Spain and Latin America.
