In addition, BME participates in conferences, trade fairs, and other activities related to the securities market, as well as educational initiatives of various kinds, such as the Economics Olympiads or the Inspiring Girls finance forum.
We also collaborate in the “Madrid, un libro abierto” (Madrid, an open book) program run by the City Council. Specifically, we develops the “The World of the Stock Market” module, which teaches young people about the fundamentals of financial markets with a focus on the equity market.
The BME Institute has also launched the audiobook "El Bosque de la Economía". Aimed at children from six to ten years of age, this educational project consists of a set of children’s stories that teach essential concepts and values related to economics, such as the meaning of money, savings, public spending, social services, and equal opportunities.
Financial Education Day
During the first week of October, Spain celebrates Financial Education Day, an initiative promoted internationally by a number of institutions, in which BME actively participates.
In recent years, the BME Institute has held three webinars during Financial Education Day related to the theme chosen for the year by Finance for All. It is customary for the Madrid Stock Exchange to ring the bell on Financial Education Day.
