“Vibrant economic growth begins from an efficient financial market that is capable of pooling funds from surplus area to deficit, thereby boosting investment inflow and contributing optimally to the economy,” he said.
“It is, therefore, imperative that economic growth in a modern society hinges on an efficient and effective financial sector that pulls domestic savings, encourages foreign direct investment to formalise capital for productive projects in support of the nation’s development agenda.
“Government recognises the importance and the crucial role of the CIS in improving financial literacy and providing the necessary training and support.”
