The Macedonian Stock Exchange and the University of Goce Delčev signed a Memorandum of Cooperation through which joint projects and activities will be implemented.
– “These collaborations can create new opportunities for our students, especially in education in the field of finance, and particularly in initiating specific forms of cooperation between the two institutions. Today, in addition to signing the Memorandum, together with Director Ivan Šteriev and the Rector of UGD, we discussed initiating specific projects in student education, improving the level of knowledge among our students in finance and economics,” stated Prof. Dr. Darko Lazarov, Vice-Rector for Investments and Development.
The meeting also discussed initiating joint projects related to cooperation between science and business. The goal is to increase the level of education for both students and young people in terms of investments and financial literacy in general.
– “For years, the Stock Exchange has been very active in increasing financial literacy in our society, with many activities, lectures, and presentations in the field of financial education. Our additional motivation comes from some analyses we conducted recently, which show that younger investors are relatively underrepresented on the Stock Exchange in our country. On the other hand, we know that the younger population invests in foreign stock exchanges. Our vision and cooperation with higher education institutions are to ensure that in the future, younger generations or graduates from universities will be more interested in investing in the Macedonian Stock Exchange, and more importantly, to consider career development opportunities in the securities industry,” said Ivan Šteriev, Director of the Macedonian Stock Exchange.
At the same time, the Director of the Macedonian Stock Exchange delivered a lecture to students at the Faculty of Economics, and the project from last year titled “Students Learn from Business” will continue.
