Gulf Today
|July 01, 2025
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, visited the New Economy Academy, where he was briefed on the variety of academic programmes offered by the institution aimed at enhancing the capability of Emirati citizens to cope with the rapid changes in the economic, financial and entrepreneurial spheres.
Hessa Bint Essa Buhumaid, Director General of the Community Development Authority in Dubai, stated that the Family Financial Literacy Program reflects the leadership's directives to prioritise the empowerment of Emirati families and to implement policies and plans to reinforce their cohesion and stability as a community. She emphasised that economic empowerment and enhanced financial awareness are amongst the most critical pillars in achieving these objectives.
Hessa Bint Essa Buhumaid affirmed that the Community Development Authority in Dubai will continue to collaborate with its partners - especially the New Economy Academy - to roll out more programmes aimed at supporting families through every situation and stage of life.
The training programme is aimed at participants in the 'Dubai Weddings' initiative, launched by the Community Development Authority in January 2024 under the directives of Sheikha Hind Bint Maktoum Bin Juma Al Maktoum.
