This conference will bring together practitioners, researchers, and high-level government authorities to share emerging best practices on developing financially capable communities in the Arab region. The event will present recent empirical evidence on financial education, share best practices of country-level programs, and discuss broader linkages between financial education and economic inclusiveness and development. Emphasis will be placed on assessing efficiency and impact of financial education programs and on ways to develop a regional framework for practical action moving forward.

AFI’s Executive Director, Alfred Hannig is scheduled to give the Keynote Address on 20 October.
