CMA Reinforces Ethics and Values in Children's Financial Transactions through 'The Smart Investor'
13/11/2012

​The Capital Market Authority (CMA) has issued the sixth issue of “The Smart Investor” magazine under the title “My Money does not Change My Behavior”. This comes as part of CMA’s financial awareness program.

The new issue focuses on the importance of values and ethics in financial transactions. It includes stories and articles on how to gain money in the right ways and how to keep it without being selfish or an over spender.

The idea of this issue aroused when “The Smart Investor” team observed children at schools and took note of the areas where they need to be educated. They have noticed that students have some wrongful concepts in daily financial transactions especially those related to savings and that it might be a reason to a change in the student’s values and behavior. Hence, the issue included the best ways to save money and the importance of team work. It also highlighted the importance of moderation in spending and other topics that help the kids in their daily life and raise the social responsibility level in them as individuals.

The sixth issue of “The Smart Investor”, as the other issues, continues to raise the awareness among the youth and prepare them to positively interact with the community in regard to daily financial transactions in addition to instilling the related ethics and values.
