The Palestine Capital Market Authority, in cooperation with the College of Business at Arab American University, held a Trading Day event at the university’s Jenin campus aimed at improving financial and investment literacy among young people and students. The program was designed to explain how Palestinian financial markets operate, highlight opportunities in the Palestinian financial sector and reinforce awareness of the authority’s role in market oversight and investor protection. The event brought together the authority, the Palestine Exchange and several securities and financial services firms. Sessions and presentations covered the state of the Palestinian financial markets, the regulatory and supervisory framework for the securities sector, trading mechanisms on the Palestine Exchange and recent market developments. In remarks during the event, the authority emphasized that trading should be conducted through formal, regulated and supervised markets to safeguard financial transactions and protect investors’ rights. Participating institutions also showcased their financial and investment services and outlined available training and career opportunities for students. During a field visit to the university, the authority’s delegation also reviewed the university’s facilities, colleges and academic programs, and both sides discussed further cooperation in awareness and training initiatives. The event forms part of the authority’s broader strategy to strengthen financial literacy in the non-banking financial sectors, particularly capital markets.
