City University of Macau supports the internationalization of financial talent: The "2025 Certified Financial Consultant Graduation and Certification Ceremony" was successfully held

The City University of Macau (CityU) hosted the "2025 Registered Financial Consultant (RFC) Graduation and Certification Ceremony" at its Taipa campus. Jointly organized by the CityU Macau, the Macau Institute of Financial Services (IFS), and the International Association of Registered Financial Consultants (IARFC), the event marked a significant milestone in cultivating high-level financial professionals to support Macau’s economic diversification. Graduates were dual-awarded the "Professional Certificate in Senior Financial Planning" and the globally recognized "Registered Financial Consultant (RFC)" designation. This certification aligns with the Macau SAR Government’s "1+4" development strategy, aimed at strengthening the local pool of international financial experts.

The speakers collectively emphasized that the RFC program, which has cultivated over 550 financial elites since 2014, remains a vital platform for aligning local talent with the development of the Greater Bay Area and the Hengqin Deep Cooperation Zone. They highlighted that as Macau advances its "1+4" diversification strategy and enters the "15th Five-Year Plan," internationalized professional certification is essential for navigating market maturity and global economic volatility. Ultimately, they urged graduates to combine their specialized financial planning skills with high ethical standards to serve as a key pillar for Macau’s economic transformation and the nation’s financial construction.

The CityU International Training and Testing Center (ITTC) reaffirmed its commitment to cross-departmental synergy. Moving forward, CityU will continue to bridge the gap between forward-looking academic research and industry standards, expanding the reach of international certifications to provide a steady stream of professional momentum for Macau’s "1+4" moderate economic diversification.
