The National Finance Congress, organized by the Management of Financial Institutions Association (MaFIA) at De La Salle University, stands out as its flagship event dedicated to enhancing awareness and knowledge within the finance industry. Now entering its 12th year, the Congress continues to serve as a crucial platform for aspiring individuals in finance, providing a critical venue to explore the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping the sector.

It will focus on bridging the gap between financial literacy and resilience by providing students, young professionals, and industry experts with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of risk management and financial investments. Participants will engage in discussions and gain insightful knowledge that can help them build financial resilience.
