(MENAFN- Edelman) UAE, Abu Dhabi, 19 March 2025: Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB), a
leading financial institution in the UAE, has launched the 2025 ADIB Financial Education
Programme (FEP), a strategic initiative designed to empower individuals across all age
groups with essential financial knowledge in both Arabic and English.
In 2024, the programme engaged over 1000 participants through interactive and tailored
financial literacy sessions, reinforcing ADIB’s commitment to financial empowerment and
lifelong learning. The programme is part of ADIB’s Environmental, Social, and
Governance (ESG) strategy, aligning with the UAE leadership’s vision for economic
sustainability and skill development.
To expand its impact across all emirates, ADIB has partnered with key government and
educational institutions, including the Ministry of Community Development, the Ministry of
Culture and Youth, and several universities and schools across the UAE. These
collaborations ensure financial literacy is accessible to individuals as young as seven
years old to pre-retirement age at no cost, offering Sharia-compliant structured financial
education that encompasses investment, entrepreneurship, and fraud awareness.

Commenting on the Financial Education Programme, Mohamed Abdelbary, Group Chief
Executive Officer at ADIB, said: "ADIB is dedicated to providing individuals with the
knowledge necessary to make informed financial decisions, as financial literacy is
essential for economic sustainability.
The programme’s success in 2024, with collaborations with leading government and
educational entities, underscores our dedication to promoting financial well-being across
the UAE. By making financial education free, accessible, and Sharia-compliant, we
continue to reinforce our commitment to the UAE’s long-term economic growth and
sustainable future.”
As ADIB continues to lead in Islamic finance and digital banking innovation, the Financial
Education Programme remains a core pillar of its social responsibility agenda. By
