The awareness campaign for consumer protection and increased information on the markets under the supervision of the Albanian Financial Supervisory Authority (AFSA) has been relocated today (November 8th) at the Mediterranean University of Albania, where a co-operation agreement was signed.
AFSA Executive Director Ervin Koci underlined that the Authority’s initiative to increase financial education has started by students considering this to be one of the most important target groups in the country’s development.
“Our goal is for young people to recognize the Authority, the markets it oversees, so they can use their knowledge to further the development of the country, by being important players in financial markets,” Koci said.
The president of the Mediterranean University Mr. Anastas Angjeli stressed that “the agreement will not only serve in exchanging experiences but also benefiting from internships where the students can be part of the AFSA.” According to him, “the agreement has in its essence the exchange of information, the development of joint activities and conferences, on the role of the Albanian Financial Supervisory Authority, which will bring mutual benefits, to the university staff, students and lecturers, as well as to the Authority itself in order to increase financial information”
This activity took place in the framework of the awareness raising campaign that AFSA has begun on financial education in relation to the underlying markets in order to raise awareness and information in view of better consumer protection and further development of these markets.
