MUSCAT, OCT 3
The-much awaited 2nd edition of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Smart Investor Award, presented by the GCC Investment Awareness Program, Mulim, is back in action.
Notably, the Capital Market Authority (CMA) takes a prominent place in the list of financial institutions authorized to conduct securities activities within GCC countries. This comprehensive list is designed to enhance transparency and accessibility to crucial information regarding entities operating in the capital and insurance sectors.
This year, the stakes are higher than ever, with prize amounts exceeding RO 100,000—more than four times the previous edition's rewards. What's more, the award has expanded to include four distinct categories: videography, drawing, photography, and writing. Writing joins the previously approved three categories.
This competition is open to individuals, higher education students, and school students. Notably, the number of winners has surged to 36 in this edition, a significant increase compared to the previous nine winners.
The primary goal of this award is to ignite the creative spark among citizens and residents of GCC countries, encouraging them to generate content that promotes awareness and presents innovative ideas related to saving and investment. By doing so, it aims to boost financial literacy, empower individuals to plan for their financial futures, and facilitate informed financial decision-making for long-term stability.
The award's oversight will be handled by a committee comprising experienced GCC members who will evaluate the submissions. In its inaugural edition launched in March 2022, the award featured three categories: videography, drawing, and photography, leading to nine winners from across the GCC, with total prizes exceeding RO 28,000.
The Investment Awareness Programme (Mulim) was initiated under the auspices of the Secretariat General of the Gulf Cooperation Council in collaboration with GCC capital market regulators. This program is committed to enhancing awareness of financial transactions and investments in capital markets through a range of educational initiatives and campaigns.
