The Authority’s participation in Cairo International Book Fair continues for a third consecutive year. This consistent presence underscores the Authority’s unwavering commitment to a comprehensive strategy aimed at developing and enhancing non-banking financial activities. A key pillar of this strategy is to raise public awareness and cultivate a deeper understanding of non-banking financial matters among all segments of society. Furthermore, this participation aims to foster a robust foundation of financial, investment and insurance knowledge among both current and future generations. This knowledge empowers individuals to make informed decisions that can positively affect their lives.
