Belize to Participate in Annual World Investor Week

The Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Belize takes a bold step toward enhancing investor awareness and protection by taking part in the International Organisation of Securities Commissions’ (IOSCO) 8th Annual World Investor Week (WIW) from October 7 to October 12, 2024.

This global initiative convenes over 100 jurisdictions, tackling pressing financial topics that impact today’s investors.

This year’s campaign will focus on topics such as technology and digital finance, crypto assets, and sustainable finance. The event will feature discussions and workshops on fraud and scam prevention, investor resilience, and the basics of investing.

Claude Haylock, Director General of the FSC, stated, “Becoming an Associate Member of IOSCO earlier this year reinforces our dedication to creating a financial environment that prioritises investor education and protection.” Haylock added, “With the rise of AI, virtual assets, and other transformative technologies, it is critical that we continue to educate and protect investors.”
