Bahrain Bourse has concluded its participation in the 11th edition of the “Youth City 2030” programme, hosted by the Ministry of Youth and Sports Affairs alongside Tamkeen as a strategic partner. The event was held in the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre from 24th July to 31st August 2022, under the slogan “Let Us Connect Again” to educate the youth, nurture their talents and foster their creativity.

Bahrain Bourse’s participation in the “Youth City 2030” involved a series of awareness sessions covering basic concepts about money management, savings and financial planning to aid young students aged 9-12 to make sound financial decisions. Sessions were followed with various edutainment activities to instil the concepts learned during the sessions. Shaikh Khalifa bin Ebrahim Al-Khalifa, Chief Executive Officer of Bahrain Bourse said, “Bahrain Bourse places a high value on youth awareness programs which are well aligned with Bahrain Bourse’s own initiative, “The Smart Investor Program,” a national awareness initiative for elementary students in partnership with INJAZ Bahrain.”

HH Shaikha Hessa bint Khalifa Al Khalifa, Chairperson of INJAZ Bahrain said: “Youth City provides an essential platform for the Kingdom’s youth to share knowledge, elevate their skills, and participate in an engaging creativity-fuelled environment among peers, mentors, and leaders".
