The session aimed at highlighting the UAE’s efforts in providing an environment that supports the empowerment and leadership of Emirati women and activating their role in the financial field.
Virtually opened the session, Younis Haji Al Khoori, Under-Secretary of MoF welcomed the participants and pointed out that Emirati women have played an important role in the UAE's development, and represent a cornerstone in its renaissance.
He highlighted the role of UAE's wise leadership, as the late Founding Father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, laid the foundations to ensure Emirati women are empowered in all fields, including the financial sector.
