KUWAIT: As part of its continued efforts to advance financial awareness and contribute to a more financially informed community, Burgan Bank organized a two-day “Financial Freedom for Every Woman” workshop at the American University of Kuwait (AUK), under its “HER.” initiative. The workshop forms part of the Bank’s ongoing support for the “Let’s Be Aware” (Diraya) banking awareness campaign, launched by the Central Bank of Kuwait in collaboration with the Kuwait Banking Association and with the support of local banks.

It also reflects the Bank’s commitment to empowering women by strengthening their financial literacy and equipping them with the knowledge to make informed financial decisions. Bringing together female employees from Burgan Bank, KAMCO Invest and United Real Estate Company (URC), the workshop also reflects Burgan Bank’s continued collaboration with KIPCO Group companies to leverage synergies, encourage knowledge-sharing and create development opportunities that extend across the Group. Through such collaborations, the Bank continues to contribute to broadening access to financial and investment knowledge and strengthening financial awareness among different segments.

Designed as an interactive learning experience, the program was presented by Dr Najlaa Al Barrak, a finance leader with more than 16 years of experience in financial planning, financial management and strategic decision-making. It focused on three key pillars: budgeting and spending control, money management and financial safety, and investment and wealth building.
