Bucharest Stock Exchange Launches Online Petition For National Investment Day

“Romania needs a National Investment Day, which can change mentalities and destinies of millions of Romanians. It takes a national project to pull Romania out from the lowest financial literacy rate within EU member states,” said Ludwik Sobolewski, Bucharest Stock Exchange CEO.

“Under the umbrella of the National Investment Day, the Bucharest Stock Exchange will organize, between May 14-15, a series of public events aimed to encourage investments among Romanians and increase the financial literacy. (…) The event will include financial education seminars and workshops dedicated to children and teenagers, as well as Fluent in Finance seminars in Bucharest, Cluj and Iasi, book launches and exhibitions,” Bucharest Stock Exchange said in a statement.

According to Standard&Poor’s 2015 Global Financial Literacy Survey, Romania ranks last in the European Union by financial literacy: only 22% of Romanians have minimum financial education.
