31 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN VOLUME 9, ISSUE 10 BARBADOS STOCK EXCHANGE “Education is a key component to get people involved in the marketplace, and we are actively reaching out to foster participation from an issuer, capital raising, and investor perspective.” One of the avenues the exchange is using is social media. Barry Blenman, Operations Supervisor – Business Development at the BSE, believes social media can be crucial in onboarding the next generation of market participators. “The younger generation spends a lot of time on their digital devices, hence the push to use social media as an educational platform,” he explains. The BSE generates educational content every week to help people understand what it does and what services and products are available. Some topics it covers are how and why to diversify your portfolio and understanding the risk and reward relationship.
