In a bid to promote financial literacy among the youth, the Ghana Stock Exchange has collaborated with the Young Investors Network with support from Joy Business to organise this year’s Capital Market Quiz for students in the second cycle institutions in the Greater Accra Region.

The capital market quiz competition is an annual quiz competition that brings together high school students in Greater Accra.

The objective is to motivate the students to increase their knowledge in capital market, financial planning and investments.

Speaking to Joy Business at the balloting of the various participating schools, Head of Marketing and PR at the Ghana Stock Exchange, Jerry Boachie-Danquah said the move is to promote financial literacy among the youth in Ghana.

“This quiz our expectation is that it will engender a lot of competition among the young people and it will create a lot of excitement and bring the best out of them. So once people get to know about this quiz, we will have a lot more schools participating”.

On his part, Joshua Quaye Mensah, President of Young Investor Network, expressed excitement that this year’s Capital Market Quiz is moving to another level with the number of participating schools increasing.

He urged the students to take advantage of the quiz and inculcate the habit of savings and investments for a better future.

The competition is open to all senior high schools in Accra. The schools have been grouped into five Zones in the preliminary round.
