The "Your Financial Compass" program is a national initiative for economic awareness and education that begins its activities in May, aiming to anchor financial culture and enhance individuals' understanding of economic and investment concepts. It is based on specialized content developed with economic experts' participation, executed across various provinces of the kingdom, through partnerships with universities, youth sectors, and women's sectors, in an interactive style based on dialogue, which contributes to building a more solid financial awareness, reflecting on the quality of economic and financial decisions at the community level as a whole.
In his speech during the conference, the CEO of Amman Stock Exchange, Mazen Al-Wazifi, expressed his appreciation for the Constitution Center for Economic Studies, appreciating its efforts in supporting initiatives aimed at spreading financial culture and enhancing economic awareness, and he praised the role of CFI Jordan in supporting these efforts, and its continuous contribution to empowering individuals knowledgeably and enhancing community-level financial awareness. He confirmed that the financial education initiative under the title "Your Financial Compass" embodies national efforts targeting different provinces of the kingdom, focusing on women, youth, and media professionals, contributing to establishing sound financial concepts and enhancing the investment culture in the society.
He explained that the Amman Stock Exchange, as an indicator of the national economy, does not limit its tasks to regulating and managing trading and developing the market, but also includes enhancing the investment culture and raising investors' knowledge level, within continuous interaction with the local community that constitutes an essential axis in its strategy. In this context, the exchange has launched a number of initiatives, notably the "Investor Culture" window on its website, which provides educational materials on the market and the foundations of investment and trading, besides organizing virtual seminars that contribute to enhancing participants' understanding of market mechanisms.
In turn, the CEO of CFI Jordan, Loay Azer, confirmed that supporting the "Your Financial Compass" program comes as an extension of the company's long-term approach in enhancing financial culture and empowering individuals knowledgeably, which CFI continues to translate through various initiatives, awareness content, and purposeful partnerships. He added that the expansion of investment opportunities in the Jordanian market today is accompanied by a parallel challenge represented by the diversity of information sources and their varying accuracy, making financial knowledge a real basis for making responsible decisions. He also pointed out that this initiative is part of a broader national effort aimed at establishing a more aware and mature economic culture in the kingdom, particularly among the youth and women.
The president of the Constitution Center for Economic Studies, Awni Al-Dawood, also confirmed that the program is national par excellence, aiming to spread economic awareness and culture in the Jordanian society across all its sectors and in various governorates of the kingdom, primarily targeting the youth and women sectors. Al-Dawood stated that the national program would cover all governorates of the kingdom, in cooperation with universities, women's unions, and youth sectors in the provinces.
He noted that the program, developed by economic experts, will focus on a set of economic axes that include enhancing financial culture, clarifying basic economic concepts and indicators, alongside awareness of trading mechanisms, addressing the differences between trading and investing, and providing guidance on money management and making informed decisions, contributing to achieving better results and minimizing risks.
In his speech, Al-Dawood emphasized that this national initiative would not have been launched without the support of CFI Jordan and its belief in the importance of national initiatives, whether in economic, sports, or community areas, with today's support of financial awareness and education programs at the forefront. He pointed to this support as reflecting the company's commitment to expanding economic knowledge, especially among youth and women, enhancing their ability to understand and deal with the economic reality consciously, praising the ongoing partnership and cooperation with the CFI Jordan team, which played a pivotal role in shaping this initiative and launching it.
Al-Dawood also mentioned that the program, executed by the Constitution Center for Economic Studies with support from CFI Jordan, will be carried out in partnership with national media and with the participation of a select group of economic experts and journalists. He also revealed that the initiative's launch would begin in the governorate of Ajloun on May 11, followed by meetings in Jerash governorate on May 20, and subsequently extending to other governorates.
Dawood praised the encouragement and support of "Amman Stock Exchange" represented by His Excellency Mr. Mazen Al-Wazifi, the CEO of Amman Stock Exchange, for his welcoming and encouragement to move forward with this national awareness initiative, pointing to the achievements and successes achieved by Amman Stock Exchange during this period thanks to the wise management that has enhanced the confidence in the Amman Stock Exchange, despite all the regional challenges surrounding us.
