The School of Economics’s home organization namely, the Business Economics Association (BEA), in partnership with the UA&P-University Student Government, brings you “Financial Literacy and Investment Summit 2018: Reaping the Benefits of a Financially Inclusive Society.” Now in its 3rd year, The Financial Literacy and Investment Summit is an annual event organized by BEA as part of its mission to promote economic and financial awareness among the students of the University. This year, BEA has partnered with the UA&P-USG to enable a wider reach, allowing both students and professionals to participate in this exciting and knowledge-filled event. The summit aims to promote and advance a financially-inclusive and literate society as well as to underscore the small ways you can do to pursue this.
The year’s FLIS will tackle the inclusivity of financial literacy for all careers. With that said, every member of the society is able to reap the benefits of such knowledge regardless of their careers. Our event will impart the proper knowledge to these different people with the help of our resource speakers. Having a financially inclusive society means everyone is able to increase awareness and access financial operations.
The summit is divided into various different subtopics from which a respective speaker is assigned to a specific branch. Acting Deputy Director of the Financial Consumer Department of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, Rochelle Tomas, will tackle the Financial Inclusion through Mobile Banking, E-Banking, and Mobile Platforms. The discussion on Cryptocurrency will be covered by the CEO and Founder of Acudeen Technologies, Inc., Mr. Magellan Fetalino. Associate Lawyer of Pacis and Reyes Law Firm Atty.
