UAE's First-Ever Nationwide Global Money Week!
Your chance to take part in a national event, showcase your financial skills, and make UAE history in the world of financial literacy!

Global Money Week
GMW is an annual global awareness raising campaign on the importance of ensuring that young people, from an early age, are financially aware, and are gradually acquiring the skills, knowledge, attitudes and behaviors necessary to make sound financial decisions and ultimately achieve financial well-being and financial resilience
Think before you follow, wise money tomorrow
The 2025 GMW theme highlights how digital finance trends, “finfluencers”, and AI complicate identifying reliable financial advice, especially for young people.
Emotional and behavioral biases, like herd mentality, can worsen decision-making under peer or social media pressure.
In this context, it is crucial that young people develop sound money management skills, recognize emotional triggers, and develop a critical eye towards information sources.
Strengthening financial literacy can help young people better navigate financial markets, resist temptation, and spot biased advice, ultimately leading to smarter financial decisions.
