We are back!
Join us for the 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
Smart Money Talks
The 2026 GMW theme, “Smart Money Talks,” highlights the importance of open, honest conversations about money in an increasingly complex financial world.
With rapid digital innovation, evolving financial products, and constant exposure to online content, young people are surrounded by more financial information than ever before. However, access to information does not always mean understanding. Misleading advice, social pressure, and unrealistic portrayals of wealth can distort perceptions of money and success.
In this context, it is crucial that young people feel confident talking about money with parents, teachers, and trusted institutions. Encouraging dialogue helps build critical thinking, strengthens financial confidence, and reduces stigma around financial mistakes.
By promoting meaningful money conversations, Global Money Week 2026 aims to empower young people to ask questions, seek reliable guidance, and develop responsible financial habits that support long-term wellbeing.
The National Financial Wellbeing and Sustainability Initiative
As part of its national mandate to advance financial wellbeing, Zoud, operates as the national coordinator of Global Money Week 2026.
By championing Global Money Week, Zoud and schools across the country are making a powerful move to create a lasting, positive impact on youth—empowering them with essential financial knowledge and paving the way for a brighter, sustainable future
