Pakistan Stock Exchange has begun an initiative to develop awareness of public at large about the financial concepts, investment basics and financial planning. The objective is to ensure the general public is equipped with knowledge related to financial and retirement planning & basic concepts of investments, stock market investments and other investment related considerations.
Financial education enhances the consumers/investors understanding of financial products and concepts through information, instruction and/or objective advice. Simultaneously it develops the skills and confidence among investors/consumers to be able to gauge financial risks and opportunities so that they can make informed choices, to know where to go for help, and to take other effective actions to improve their financial well-being.
