On the 22nd of September 2022, winners of the 'Savings Build the Nation' Awards Season 7 were officially announced. The venue of the event is the Software Park Thailand Building Auditorium Room. This year's contest theme, "Saving and Investing... You Can Do It", is to inspire everyone in society that anyone can manage their savings to grow. Saving money alone may not be enough though as you also need to know how to manage those savings by investing.
