Paris, [France], March 03, 2025: – The Global Investment Challenge (GIC), a premier international investment competition organized by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), has officially announced that the 2025 edition will take place from April to August. This prestigious event, designed to bring together top financial minds from across the globe, will feature some of the world’s most renowned financial analysts, institutional teams, and retail investors.
The 2025 Global Investment Challenge is set to redefine investment excellence by assembling participants from India, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, China, Singapore, Australia, Switzerland, and Canada. Competing for the coveted titles of “World’s Best Financial Institution” and “Global Gold Medal Analyst”, the contestants will apply their expertise in market analysis, risk management, and portfolio optimization in a high-stakes financial arena.
