MP deems gold investment literacy relevant for the public
Jakarta (ANTARA) - A member of Commission VI of the House of Representatives (DPR) RI, Nasril Bahar, considers financial literacy, particularly related to gold investment, to be highly relevant and important for the public.
At the Digital Literacy Seminar in Simalungun, North Sumatra, on Tuesday (5/5), he stated the importance of understanding safe investments with low risks for better returns and a brighter future for children’s education.
“We hope this meeting can bring blessings and that what is conveyed will be beneficial for everyone,” said Nasril, as quoted from a statement confirmed in Jakarta on Thursday.
On the same occasion, Assistant Manager of PT Pegadaian (Persero) Muhammad Qohar Nasution provided an in-depth presentation on various aspects of gold financial literacy.
As a seminar speaker, Qohar also discussed the benefits of gold investment, portfolio diversification strategies, and effective ways to manage gold ownership as part of financial planning.
Additionally, he revealed various gold investment programmes available at Pegadaian, namely gold instalments with affordable and easy payments that can be pawned, as well as providing insights to participants on how to optimally utilise various gold financial products.
The seminar, organised by Commission VI of the DPR, invited the Pegadaian speaker to deepen gold financial literacy and its benefits for families.
The main focus of the event was the discussion on the importance of understanding gold financial literacy and how it can have a positive impact on family finances and, of course, on MSME actors.
The meeting was interspersed with an active question-and-answer session, where participants could directly ask questions to the speakers.
Commission VI of the DPR RI, as the commission overseeing trade, cooperatives and SMEs, SOEs, investment, and national standardisation, together with Pegadaian, agreed to continue collaboration in organising similar activities to continuously enhance understanding and financial welfare for the wider community.
