Literacy and financial inclusion
The concept of financial inclusion involves
offering financial services to all segments of society – whether they be
individuals or institutions – and striving to enable these segments to utilize
such services, by providing financial services that are of an acceptable
quality and a reasonable price through official financial channels.
Banque Misr is considered one of the first banks to lay
the foundations of financial inclusion, being the first bank to be established
with Egyptian capital for the purpose of investing the savings of Egyptians and
integrating these savings into the formal national economy. As such, the Bank
consistently supports the efforts of the Egyptian state towards fulfilling
financial inclusion, with the aim of allowing access by all social segments to
financial products and services that fulfil their various needs; especially
Egyptian youths, which constitute the largest segment of society. Banque Misr
has partaken in numerous initiatives and events that seek to drive these
efforts; such as the national initiative launched by the Egyptian Banking
Institute, “Ashan Bokra” in 2012, under the auspices of the Central Bank of
Egypt, in the area of financial education and the development of financial
products and services that suit children and youth in Egypt and the Middle
East. This is in addition to the Bank’s regular participation in the Arab Day
for Financial Inclusion, International Youth Day and other functions.
