DIB Bank Kenya has gathered women in Nairobi for a financial seminar to strengthen their knowledge of Islamic banking and business.

Over 200 women from various religious backgrounds came together for the conference, which had the theme "Money talks every woman should have in her 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s."

The women were trained in business management, shariah of money, women's finance, savings and investing, and such topics.

DIB Bank Kenya Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Rose Kagucia stated that the bank was dedicated to assisting women in the nation.

"I believe it is time we adopt a culture of teaching our generation about financial literacy from a young age," the CEO said.

Further, she said that the seminar has provided an avenue to speak to the most productive of women.

"I'm certain it will have a great impact on all of us going forward," she added.

Various participants attended the conference, including non-state actors, policymakers, politicians, investors, economists, academics, and investors.

These participants offered a stimulating mix of lectures, panel discussions, and interviews.

Islamic finance has grown in popularity over the past ten years due to the rising demand for goods and services that comply with shariah.

However, a lack of public awareness has prevented its full potential from emerging. 

Therefore this conference strives to close any current gaps in literacy and disbelief, particularly with the consumer base that Islamic Finance serves.
