CySEC to launch nationwide financial awareness campaign for World Investor Week 2026

Nicosia, Cyprus. The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) announced on Friday that it will launch a nationwide financial awareness campaign next week as part of World Investor Week 2026. The campaign will focus on investor resilience and protection against digital deception.

International initiative

The campaign will run from October 5 to 11, with CySEC joining regulatory authorities from more than 100 countries in the initiative led by the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO).

This marks CySEC’s eighth consecutive year of participation in World Investor Week, combining educational activities, public awareness initiatives and guidance for investors.

School and university education

CySEC will deliver educational presentations at primary, secondary and technical schools across Cyprus, alongside university lectures.

The school presentations will form part of the sixth cycle of CySEC’s school lecture programme, which will run from October through December. The programme will cover investor resilience, digital deception and scam awareness.

During previous cycles, CySEC officers visited 88 schools and provided financial education to 3,450 students.

Public outreach and investor guides

Alongside its school and university activities, CySEC will run a dedicated social media campaign offering practical guidance to the public. The regulator will also make television and radio appearances and publish interviews and articles.

CySEC will publish a new Guide for investors and a Smart Investor Handbook, encouraging regulated entities and partners to help distribute the campaign’s messages.
