Bahrain Bourse & INJAZ Bahrain launches national challenge For Smart Investor Program in its 4th edition

Bahrain Bourse, a self-regulated multi-asset marketplace, will be launching a national challenge in collaboration with INJAZ Bahrain for Smart Investor Program participants to spark engagement and inspire students to participate utilising their learnings during the program. The challenge will inspire a competitive spirit, and support the Kingdom’s youth to gain a better understanding of the program’s concepts along with engaging key partners and stakeholders. Since its inception, the program has been carried out for 3 consecutive academic years. The program will commence in October, and continue until the challenge in April next year. The challenge is open to 4th grade elementary students that are enrolled in the Smart Investor Program and have completed all 7 sessions. Shaikh Khalifa bin Ebrahim Al-Khalifa, CEO of Bahrain Bourse commented, “Since the launch of the program, we have achieved a key milestone of engaging up to 15,000 students. The challenge is another element to encourage younger target students to engage and actively participate to apply their accumulated knowledge and skills to real-life situations involving financial issues and decisions. “These initiatives were launched to complement Bahrain Bourse’s awareness programs to further equip the youth with key financial knowledge and enhance financial inclusivity.
