The “Fluent in Finance” program envisages the stock exchange together with four partner brokerage firms, Alpha Finance, BT Securities, Estinvest and Intercapital Invest, to collaborate with companies and corporations in Romania to offer free seminars on the topic of financial education to their employees.
The first companies to introduce the Fluent in Finance project for their employees are: Enel, Idea Bank, Idea Leasing, Garanti Bank, KPMG Romania and Orange Romania.
The program aims to teach employees about finance management, the importance of accumulating wealth and how to invest on stock exchange.
“Understanding and profiting from the knowledge, how the capital markets function, paves the way towards individual prosperity. In today’s world, the skills to use financial instruments are like the skill to speak foreign languages. We invite all participants of our innovative projects to embark with us on a journey towards fluency in investing,” said Stock Exchange CEO Ludwik Sobolewski.
The pilot project, scheduled to take place between July and December 2015, the Bucharest Stock Exchange wishes to hold financial education seminars at 20 major companies in Romania.
The project is available to any company from any field of work, located in Romania that wishes to contribute to the financial education of their employees. Even though the project envisages the companies to have at least 300 employees, any company is invited to send the request to organize the seminars.
