Launch of the National Program for Economic Awareness and Financial Literacy
The National Program for Economic Awareness and Financial Literacy, implemented by Al-Dustour Center for Economic Studies and powered by CFI Jordan under the title “Your Financial Compass,” was officially launched today. The announcement was made during a press conference held on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at the Four Seasons Hotel Amman. The conference featured remarks by Mazen Wathaifi, Chief Executive Officer of Amman Stock Exchange; Loay Azar, Chief Executive Officer of CFI Jordan; and Awni Al-Dawood, Chairman of Al-Dustour Center for Economic Studies.
“Your Financial Compass” is a national initiative for economic awareness and financial literacy, set to commence in May. It aims to strengthen financial literacy and enhance individuals’ understanding of economic and investment concepts. The program is built on specialized content developed with the participation of economic experts and will be implemented across all governorates of the Kingdom through partnerships with universities, youth, and women’s sectors. It adopts an interactive, dialogue-based approach that contributes to building deeper financial awareness, ultimately improving the quality of economic and financial decision-making at the societal level.
In his remarks, Wathaifi expressed his appreciation to Al-Dustour Center for Economic Studies for its efforts in supporting initiatives that promote financial literacy and economic awareness. He also praised the role of CFI Jordan in supporting these efforts and its ongoing contribution to empowering individuals through knowledge and strengthening financial awareness across society. He emphasized that “Your Financial Compass” initiative reflects integrated national efforts targeting all governorates, with a focus on women, youth, and media professionals, contributing to the promotion of sound financial concepts and a stronger investment culture.
He added that Amman Stock Exchange, as an indicator of the national economy, does not limit its role to regulating and managing trading or developing the market, but also works to enhance investment culture and raise awareness among investors through continuous engagement with the local community, where financial awareness remains a key pillar of its strategy. In this context, the Amman Stock Exchange has launched several initiatives, most notably the “Investor Culture” section on its website, which provides educational materials on the market, investment fundamentals, and trading, in addition to organizing virtual seminars that enhance participants’ understanding of market mechanisms.
For his part, Loay Azar stated that supporting “Your Financial Compass” initiative reflects CFI Jordan’s long-term commitment to enhancing financial literacy and empowering individuals through knowledge. He noted that the expansion of investment opportunities in the Jordanian market today is accompanied by a parallel challenge represented by the diversity and varying accuracy of information sources, making financial knowledge a true foundation for responsible decision-making. Azar added that this initiative forms part of a broader national effort to establish a more aware and mature economic culture across the Kingdom, particularly among youth and women.
Furthermore, Al-Dawood affirmed that the program is a national initiative aimed at promoting economic awareness and financial literacy across all segments of Jordanian society and in all governorates of the Kingdom, with a primary focus on youth and women. He noted that the program will be implemented across the Kingdom in cooperation with universities, women’s unions, and youth sectors.
He explained that the program, developed by economic experts, will focus on several key areas, including strengthening financial literacy, clarifying essential economic concepts and indicators, raising awareness about trading mechanisms, highlighting the differences between trading and investment, and providing guidance on financial management and informed decision-making to achieve better outcomes and reduce risks.
Al-Dawood also emphasized that this national initiative would not have been possible without the support of CFI Jordan and its belief in the importance of national initiatives across the economic, sports, and social fields, particularly those focused on financial awareness and literacy. He noted that this support reflects the company’s commitment to expanding economic knowledge, especially among youth and women, enabling them to better understand economic realities and approach them with greater awareness. He also praised the ongoing partnership and cooperation with the CFI Jordan team, which played a key role in shaping and launching the initiative.
He added that the program, implemented by Al-Dustour Center for Economic Studies with the support of CFI Jordan, will be carried out in collaboration with national media outlets and a group of economic experts and journalists. He revealed that the initiative will kick off in Ajloun Governorate on May 11, followed by sessions in Jerash Governorate on May 20, before expanding to the rest of the Kingdom.
Al-Dawood also praised the support and encouragement of Amman Stock Exchange, represented by its CEO Mazen Wathaifi, for backing this national awareness initiative. He highlighted the achievements and the success of Amman Stock Exchange during this period, attributing them to its prudent management, which has strengthened confidence in the market despite regional challenges.
