October 5, 2019
The dynamic development of capital markets in Europe, resulting from the companies’ increased need for alternative funding sources, as well as the technological advancements that consistently produce new financial products and services, have created an environment that offers opportunities for the investors and supervising Authorities, but at the same time presents risks. In this context, it is all the more necessary to continue educating the investing public. To this end, the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) has been organizing the World Investor Week since 2017, aiming to help educate and protect investors and the public at large.
The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission participates in the World Investor Week 2019 (WIW) for the very first time, by publishing warnings and providing material, information and advice, thereby contributing to the continuous training of the investing public. This week (30 September – 6 October 2019), CySEC displays and continues to promote the messages of the IOSCO initiative through its website and social media accounts. With its publications and articles in the press, CySEC also highlighted the importance of continuous financial training and adequately informing the public and the investors, with a view to enhance their capacity to make key financial and investment decisions.
