Speaking about the agreement, Prof Sayed Manjur Kadir said, "There is interest among the youth in the stock market. However, due to the absence of practical knowledge about the types of investments and challenges in this market, many fall behind. Through the practical experience gained in the field of share market trading, we aim to further enhance the skills of CIU students in the days to come. This initiative reflects our commitment to preparing students for success in the financial industry."
The Digital Financial Trading Lab will serve as a platform for students to gain hands-on experience and develop a deeper understanding of investment strategies and market challenges.
