Qatar Financial Markets Authority (QFMA) has launched an awareness campaign for the fourth season of the Gulf Smart Investor Award. The award, organized by the Gulf Investment Awareness Program (Mulim), aims to strengthen Qatar financial literacy and improve investor knowledge. Therefore, the campaign will run from September to February, engaging various community segments.
The Mulim initiative promotes financial and investment awareness across the GCC. Moreover, it produces content that enhances the culture of financial transactions and encourages responsible investing. Since its first season in 2020, the program has gradually expanded across multiple GCC countries.
QFMA actively participates in every phase of the award to raise investor awareness in Qatar. In addition, the authority educates the public on investment basics, risk management, fraud prevention, and financial regulations. By doing so, QFMA strengthens Qatar financial literacy and supports safer, more informed investment practices.
Maryam Al-Heidous, Head of Communication Section at QFMA, explained that the Gulf Smart Investor Award has gained significant recognition across GCC capital markets. She also emphasized that QFMA encourages students, both in schools and universities, to participate actively in all tracks of the award. As a result, younger generations develop financial knowledge while engaging with the local financial sector.
The award allows participants to compete in four tracks: video, drawing, photography, and writing. Each track selects 11 winners, resulting in 44 winners across all categories. Additionally, participants learn about saving, investment strategies, and avoiding financial fraud, thereby improving Qatar financial literacy among citizens and residents.
The Gulf Smart Investor Award accepts entries under three main categories: financial planning, savings, and investment. After receiving entries, QFMA organizes judging committees to evaluate submissions. Subsequently, winners receive recognition in a final ceremony, highlighting creative talent and spreading financial awareness across the region.
QFMA’s involvement reflects its mission to enhance financial literacy, protect investors, and promote safe investment opportunities. Furthermore, by encouraging informed decisions, the authority supports economic growth and creates a more attractive financial environment in Qatar.
The program also emphasizes knowledge sharing and strategic thinking, helping participants gain skills essential for navigating financial markets. Moreover, the award fosters a culture of responsible investing, encouraging young people to explore financial opportunities safely.
In conclusion, the Gulf Smart Investor Award strengthens Qatar financial literacy and encourages active participation in investment education. Consequently, the program nurtures talent, promotes awareness, and supports the country’s growing financial sector.
