DOHA: The QFC Regulatory Authority (QFCRA) announced yesterday that it is participating in ongoing World Investor Week (WIW), which will conclude tomorrow.
WIW is a week-long global campaign promoted by the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) and supported by regulatory authorities in over sixty countries and leading organisations such as the G20 and the World Bank.
The objective of the WIW is to highlight the importance of investor education and protection, and to foster learning opportunities for investors, given today´s rapidly changing environment of online and technological innovations.
To support the objective of the WIW campaign, QFCRA visited the Qatar Banking Studies and Business Administration Independent Secondary Schools to promote investor education and protection. At both the Boys’ and the Girls’ Schools, Regulatory Authority staff introduced students to concepts of the “smart investor” and how to complain if things go wrong.
For QFCRA this initiative falls under Qatar’s Second Strategic Plan for Financial Sector Regulation.
