In a ceremony in Zagreb, the Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency (Hanfa) presented its Annual Award to students for the best scientific and professional papers.
Hanfa has been awarding student papers in the field of economics for five years, in order to encourage development of economic thought, recognize achievement, and provide additional motivation to the best students in their study and work.
Among winners for 2025 are three students from Split’s Faculty of Economics. Dora Samac and Doris Kružičević received a prize of €2,500 for their paper on "The Rise of Passive Investing: Implications for Market Efficiency and Volatility."
Maja Mateljan won €1,700 for her paper on "Financial Inclusion through Digitalization: Are FinTech Solutions a Bridge to Greater Financial Literacy?"
Apart from them, Lovro Lesić, Marin Lesić, and Luka Medvidović, pupils in Zagreb School of Economics and Management, received a prize of €1,000 for their paper on "Impact of Globalization to Effectiveness of Traditional Diversification Strategies."
Hanfa will continue these activities to further motivate students to think about economic issues. Students are invited to consider applying for this year's competition, published on Hanfa's website.
