About Boursa

Boursa is a financial technology (FinTech) company specializing in the development of intelligent solutions for trading and investment, powered by artificial intelligence. The company also offers simplified educational content in Arabic, aiming to empower individuals to understand the basics of investing and confidently enter financial markets.

 On February 1, 2025, "Boursa" launched its mobile application on both the Apple and Android app stores, allowing users in Libya to access global financial markets in addition to the Libyan Stock Market. On the same day, the company announced the launch of the first competition of its kind in Libya for trading and investment, designed to provide a practical educational experience for participants without the need to use real money. The competition received wide engagement and contributed to raising financial awareness among youth and beginner investors all across Libya.

The Competition

The competition ran for three months, from February 1 to the end of April 2025. Each contestant was given a virtual balance of 50,000 Libyan dinars at the start, which they used to trade on the platform. With this virtual balance, participants were able to buy and sell a wide range of assets—from commodities like wheat and silver to cryptocurrencies and global indices—aiming to profit from price fluctuations. Winners were those who achieved the highest return percentages at the end of each month. They received valuable prizes from Tadawul Financial Group, in the form of shares in various Libyan companies listed on the Libyan Stock Market.

A total of 1,729 contestants participated, with a total of 8,405 trades executed. The competition saw intense excitement and diverse trading strategies; some participants focused on high-risk assets such as cryptocurrencies—especially Bitcoin and Ethereum—known for their volatility. Others preferred to trade in more stable and secure assets like gold, aiming for steady profits.

The Award Ceremony

The ceremony was held at the Libyan Stock Market headquarters in the Hay El-Andalus in Tripoli, attended by representatives of the Libyan Stock Market, including Dr. Ahmed Karoud, Director of the Libyan Stock Market, and Mr. Mohamed Al-Sallabi.
