LuxSE And CSSF Put Spotlight On Financial Literacy

The Luxembourg Stock Exchange (LuxSE) and the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) joined forces today to highlight the importance of investor education and protection, as part of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO)’s 5th World Investor Week.

For the third year running, LuxSE CEO Julie Becker and Director General of the CSSF Claude Marx co-hosted a Ring the Bell for Financial Literacy ceremony at the exchange, to strengthen public awareness of the importance of financial literacy in Luxembourg, with a specific focus on sustainable finance knowledge and awareness.

“Investor education is an essential part of investor protection, which is at the core of our mission as an exchange. Financial literacy helps strengthen confidence and trust in financial markets, and this is crucial to mobilise funding for the transition to a low-carbon and more inclusive economy. Many companies across different industries are striving to accelerate their transition efforts, but lack the necessary in-depth understanding of ESG aspects. Exchanges have a duty to help close this knowledge gap,” said Julie Becker, CEO of LuxSE.
