\nDr. Islam Azzam emphasized that these events are of particular significance as the Authority strives to keep pace with the rapid transformation and expansion of Egypt\u2019s Non-Banking Financial Sector (NBFS). He underscored FRA\u2019s commitment to initiatives that develop human capital, viewing it as a fundamental pillar for enhancing the efficiency and stability of non-banking financial markets and supporting their role in achieving comprehensive economic development.<\/p>\n
He added that this session is part of FRA\u2019s ongoing efforts to cultivate distinguished leaders and enhance administrative efficiency within institutions. These efforts aim to support sustainable growth in alignment with international best practices.<\/p>\n
The session featured Dr. Tarek Seif, Executive Director of the Financial Services Institute, alongside Mr. Wayne Clarke, Co-founding Partner of the Global Growth Institute (GGI), and Mr. Mark Feige, GGI Partner. A distinguished assembly of FRA leaders and prominent sector experts joined them.<\/p>\n
The session reviewed a shared vision for developing the sector\u2019s leadership framework. Discussions focused on empowering executive leaders and board members with the tools and skills necessary to make effective strategic decisions, thereby boosting institutional competitiveness and expansion capabilities.<\/p>\n
The discussions highlighted the pivotal role of boards of directors in leading institutional transformation and embedding sound governance principles. This approach seeks to balance growth with stability, ultimately strengthening investor confidence in non-banking financial activities.<\/p>\n
Participants stressed the importance of transferring and localizing global best practices in leadership and management through collaborations with prestigious international institutions. This ensures the sector’s readiness to adapt to global shifts and maximizes its contribution to financing the national economy.<\/p>\n
Mr. Wayne Clarke stated that the primary goal of the program extends beyond mere skill development; it aims to build a mindset capable of adapting to change and making sound decisions within complex, rapidly evolving work environments.<\/p>\n
He further noted that integrating NBFS professionals into this global network offers a unique opportunity to engage with modern management techniques and interact with world-class talent, enhancing the Egyptian sector’s standing on the international stage.<\/p>\n

Dr. Tarek Seif confirmed that the FSI continues to implement advanced training programs to prepare future leaders capable of driving a qualitative shift in institutional performance. He noted that the program serves as an integrated platform for capacity building and knowledge exchange, operationalizing cooperation protocols with Egyptian insurance companies and MoUs with international universities to support human resource development – particularly in the insurance sector, a cornerstone of the national economy.<\/p>\n
The cooperation framework includes a comprehensive package of general and specialized training programs covering fields such as underwriting, Claims, Reinsurance, Investment, Internal Audit, Finance, Risk Management, Compliance, Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and Actuarial Science.<\/p>\n
In a strategic move to broaden professional expertise, the EIoD\u2019s accredited programs are now part of FRA’s core training system. Participants can now earn recognized certifications, such as Certified Board Member and Qualified CEO, Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC), Corporate Secretary, risk management, and internal auditing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":124,"featured_media":22440915,"parent":0,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[142,144],"tags":[3791,3811,3910,4696,4697,4698,4699,4700,4701,4702],"fra_news_taxonomy":[2137,2138],"news_paper_taxonomy":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fra.gov.eg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fra_news\/22440928"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fra.gov.eg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fra_news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fra.gov.eg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/fra_news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fra.gov.eg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/124"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fra.gov.eg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22440915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fra.gov.eg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22440928"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fra.gov.eg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22440928"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fra.gov.eg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22440928"},{"taxonomy":"fra_news_taxonomy","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fra.gov.eg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fra_news_taxonomy?post=22440928"},{"taxonomy":"news_paper_taxonomy","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fra.gov.eg\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_paper_taxonomy?post=22440928"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
