The results obtained in the study indicated that financial literacy has a significant impact on investors’ financial decisions, financial planning, and the selection of financial products that influence investors’ investment decisions. The research also found that financial literacy is affected by financial literacy awareness programs, which have a favorable influence on the investment decisions made by investors.
