The BIBF’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Ahmed Al-Shaikh said, “I would like to congratulate our students and all teams involved in this achievement. Our students' triumph in Trade Quest for the third consecutive year, is a testament to their dedication, creativity, and the exceptional quality of education at the BIBF. This victory not only showcases their talent but also reflects the relentless commitment of our faculty and staff in nurturing future leaders. We are immensely proud of their achievement and confident that they will continue to excel in their journey towards success.” He also added, "Initiatives like Trade Quest promote financial literacy and education among young people in Bahrain, and we are also proud to be the Knowledge Partners for Bahrain Bourse."
Recognising the students' exceptional performance, Dr. Haifa Khalaf, Head of the Academics Centre at BIBF, commended their dedication and highlighted the BIBF’s unwavering commitment to empowering students. She stated, "Congratulations to our students, mentors and faculty! Our students' success underscores our commitment to fostering excellence.

The program is conducted over three phases, with evaluation based on the team's strategy, investment, and financial performance, as well as the overall cooperation and coordination between team members.
