BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN (Xinhua): Bruneians' awareness of financial savings, budgeting, investing, retirement planning and digital safety was being strengthened through the National Financial Literacy Day, which was launched this week at a school near the capital.
The two-day event was co-organized by the central bank and the Ministry of Education.
The event aimed to equip students with practical financial knowledge and skills.
Meanwhile, Baiduri Capital signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) to forge a strategic partnership that aimed at advancing investment literacy, capital markets awareness, financial education and research collaboration in Brunei Darussalam.
Under the agreement, both parties will work together to deliver a range of initiatives that support student development and academic engagement in finance and investment. This includes co-organising talks, stock trading competitions, and outreach programmes tailored for the UBD community.
While the partnership will directly enhance finance and investment education at the UBD School of Business and Economics (UBDSBE), it also provides opportunities for meaningful engagement across UBD’s other faculties and research institutes.
Students, researchers and staff will benefit from interdisciplinary access to real-world financial tools, data-driven learning, and research collaboration. - Borneo Bulletin/ANN
