The Albania Financial Services Authority published an update on the closing ceremony of the fifth “Let’s Learn About the Stock Exchange” Stock Market Learning Competition, organised with German Sparkassenstiftung Albania, which used virtual trading to familiarise students with stock market decision-making and risk. The edition involved 111 students and pupils from 20 universities and secondary schools, with Tirana’s “Sami Frashëri” and Elbasan’s “Dhaskal Todri” high schools participating for the first time. Over six weeks, teams managed virtual portfolios using real market prices, and an independent international jury evaluated them based on performance and sustainability, with certificates and prizes distributed through the authority. In remarks at the event, AMF Executive Deputy Director Merita Gurabardhi emphasised financial education and reasoned decision-making as foundations for a standards-based, transparent capital market aligned with European practices.
