Paria Fuel Trading Company Ltd (Paria) hosted its eight flagship award ceremony of the Sustainable Stock Market Game (SSMG) to honours winners for their efforts.
Under the theme, Replicating Success: AI in Education and Financial Literacy for Sustainable Caricom Economic Transformation, Paria reaffirmed its commitment to building a brighter, more sustainable future for the region, a media release said.
As a foundational sponsor of the Sustainable Stock Market Game, Paria said it has empowered students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds by fostering equitable access to cutting-edge AI-driven tools.
This support has extended across secondary schools, universities, and WizdomCRM’s AI Tutor platform, driving a transformative ripple effect of innovation and educational excellence, the release said.

“In an evolving world, those who manage capital will shape the future,” Paria general manager Mushtaq Mohammed said in the release.
“If we do not invest in the technology of the future, we risk being left behind. By sponsoring initiatives like the SSMG, Paria is creating the knowledge base required to build the skills and capabilities students need to understand and manage capital flows, which will be our region’s competitive advantage.”
The SSMG provides students with a simulated US$25,000 to build and grow investment portfolios using real market data harnessing the power of artificial intelligence. This immersive experience has helped students develop technical skills, strategic thinking, and a deeper understanding of capital market management, the release said.
With sponsorship spanning multiple cycles, Paria has driven consistent growth and impact, it said.
