The Central Bank of the Republic of Kosovo co-hosted an awards ceremony for the “Stock Market Learning Competition” for young bankers, highlighting financial education and practical experience as key to preparing new professionals for financial-market challenges. Co-organised with the Kosovo Banking Association and supported by German Sparkassenstiftung for International Cooperation, the event recognised participants who developed knowledge of capital markets and investment decision-making through a simulated trading environment. Deputy Governor Nesrin Shileku-Shala also reiterated the central bank’s work on financial education, consumer protection and financial inclusion, and reaffirmed its strategic focus on developing capital markets in line with European Union standards and international best practices, including the need to link financial education with understanding technological change. The competition’s student winners were announced in a separate ceremony a day earlier, with 11 winners awarded. The programme formed part of activities linked to Global Money Week, which the central bank stated will be marked by events running from 16 to 20 March 2025.
