How do we start rolling out financial literacy programs at a country level? What is the right and effective framework, and who are the main stakeholders for financial literacy in any country according to successful experiences in pioneering countries? What available help, if any, can countries get? How do local financial institutions play their role in Financial Literacy and Inclusion?
The digital financial landscape is constantly evolving and expanding with several types of financial apps and fintech services launched every month. What are the implications of these digital services for the financial literacy of consumers as well as for financial education policies and content. How developments in digital finance, including open finance, Robo Advisors, crypto-assets and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), are influencing financial literacy policy and the needs for digital financial literacy in the population, including among young people and adults. What are the most important aspects affecting financial consumers, and how do we enhance their protection in this era of nearly 100% digital financial services?
Financial education and behavioural biases play an important role in shaping the way we make financial decisions. Developments in the financial sector, including the growing spread of digital financial service and the increasing use of digital tools to support financial decision-making, provide new opportunities for addressing behavioural biases but may also exacerbate some of them. How much does our knowledge of behavioural economics help us make better informed decisions in our personal finance space? What should we know in this domain, and how we can enhance public awareness on behaviourial finance?
The working world has changed. A university education used to guarantee a long‐term job in a large company. Not anymore. Today, large companies are disappearing. Employment opportunities are short‐term. Most people in tomorrow’s working world will find employment filling niche gaps, providing goods and services. People who are unprepared for that reality will be unable to provide for themselves. They will need to think like entrepreneurs. What financial literacy elements and skills are needed to infuse and inspire entrepreneurship in today’s generation, especially the youths segment, and how entrepreneurship can be integrated as a core part of financial literacy?
Building an investment portfolio is an advanced and significant part of a successful personal finance. Building a portfolio is sort of like building a house. You want a design that you will be happy with and that meets your family’s needs. You’ll need to use a wide variety of materials. And what counts isn’t just the quality of those materials but also how they work together. Personal finance is personal and must be taught with the lived experience in the forefront. When individuals are able to identify areas within their own life goals and interests, then they have a much greater buy-in to the learning process. How simple or complex is it to create an investment portfolio and build a robust personal finance?
To what extent have Arab's financial inclusion efforts been inclusive and value adding to local communities so far? Are there any evaluation and monitoring mechanisms? How can financial inclusion endeavors and programs become more socially and economically meaningful in coming years?
Enhancing financial inclusion through policies, regulations and national strategy Questioning effective policies, regulatory framework and national strategy Bridging the regulatory gap for sustainable inclusion.
To what extent are decision-makers at the high levels in Arab countries are putting people’s financial resilience at the top of their agenda. Is financial resilience a matter of national urgency for policy-makers (such as the ministers of finance and ministers of social affairs) in the Arab world and how committed are they? Join the discussion to hear what the household financial safety net of the future needs to look like in in Arab communities that are facing an increasingly unpredictable set of challenges.
How are the concenred government ministries and financial empowerment agencies in the Arab world fundamentally reshaping how benefits are delivered to local people to build financial resilience. What are the policies, programs and existing partnerships that are supporting households’ financial resilience and its governance. Arab officials will be invited to share their plans on how they are modernising public benefits delivery, and highlight new opportunities for partnership between government agencies to improve financial resilience, and set forth a vision for how public benefits are delivered in the coming years.
Profound impacts of climate change on poverty, malnutrition and other health issues, gender inequalities, and forced migration are acknowledged globally. With a focus extending beyond green initiatives, this session aims to explore holistic banking strategies that integrate environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG); shedding light on how financial institutions can drive decarbonization efforts and foster resilient, sustainable futures.
Gender equality is a smart economy that contributes to reducing poverty and enhancing family's financial flexibility of the fam. However, women in the Arab region as a whole contribute only 19% of the GDP, compared to a global average of 37%. The empowerment of women has an intrinsic value in itself, and effective development outcomes. Our countries have made great progress for women in education, health and jobs, but there are still challenges related to economic opportunities and women's financial and economic empowerment. What are the main challenges to women's economic empowerment, and what are the best practices and pioneering initiatives regionally and globally to incentivize women's active participation in the national economy? Similarly, how are young entrepreneurs in the region financially empowered to establish and support successful projects? How can they access finance and new markets' Are there enough financial institutions and funds to lend to young people so that they can start businesses? How are these loan products designed and marketed, how easy/difficult is access to financing, and what are the most successful experiences in this domain?
