“Capital market is an important venue for raising funds
and savings, especially long-term savings for post-retirement as Thailand has
entered the state of aging society. Our cooperation to synergize our resources
for disseminating investment knowledge to the Thai public across all aspects
and age groups is attracting support and endorsement from all sectors. The SEC
recognizes and commends businesses that value the importance and benefits of
providing knowledge to the public on a larger scale,” said SEC
Secretary-General Pornanong Budsaratragoon.
The knowledge-building activities conducted by participating businesses for the
Public Empowerment through Capital Market Knowledge Initiative, as submitted in
their activity reports to the SEC, are a means of imparting financial and
investment knowledge to the public apart from the businesses’ normal product
sales practices.
The knowledge-building activities were conducted in various formats, including
academic seminar, production of financial and investment knowledge materials
for online dissemination, event organization for the project to promote and
support financial planning and saving of the young generations, and development
of fundamental financial knowledge courses to enhance the quality of company
personnel, etc. Each of these activities has led to further sharing of valuable
information and knowledge to the public on a wider scale, reaching a diverse
range of target groups, from the youth and students to first jobbers and
retiring workforces. This is reflected in the substantial number of over
200,000 persons accessing such knowledge through online channels.
The first phase of the Initiative will run until 31
March 2024, and the list of business participants in the next quarter will be
announced on 29 December 2023. Businesses interested in joining the Initiative or
organizing activities to promote financial and investment knowledge to the
public can notify their intention and submit their financial knowledge activity
reports to the SEC now until 31 March 2024 via email: smarttoinvest@sec.or.th.
