Boursa Kuwait has announced a strategic partnership with Injaz Kuwait, a non-profit organization dedicated to preparing the nation’s youth for the global economy. The collaboration aims to bolster financial literacy and empower young talent through a series of specialized educational programs targeting students across various academic levels.
A Strategic Push For Financial Literacy
Through this partnership, Boursa Kuwait will support several of Injaz Kuwait’s key initiatives during the first half of 2026, with an expected reach of over 800 students.
The programs are designed to equip young people with practical skills and a forward-thinking mindset. Key initiatives include the “My Money, My Future” program for middle school students, introducing them to core financial concepts like saving and investing. Other supported programs include “I’m an Entrepreneur,” which fosters creative thinking, and “Personal Finance,” offering older students hands-on experience in financial decision-making.
Furthermore, the “My Company” program will enable students to establish and manage virtual companies with mentorship from private sector professionals, providing invaluable real-world experience.
Building A Future-Ready Generation
The initiative is a core component of Boursa Kuwait’s corporate social responsibility strategy, focusing on financial literacy as a key pillar for building a stable and transparent investment environment.
Naser Meshari Al Sanousi, Senior Director of Marketing and Corporate Communications at Boursa Kuwait, commented on the agreement, “We firmly believe that investing in youth is an investment in the future of Kuwait. Empowering young people is a key step in preparing a well-informed and capable generation ready to lead the country’s economic transformation, in line with the national vision of positioning Kuwait as a leading regional financial and investment hub.”
He added, “Our collaboration with Injaz Kuwait reflects our commitment to promoting financial literacy and supporting educational programs that enhance individuals’ ability to make informed financial decisions.”
Laila Hilal Al Mutairi, CEO of Injaz Kuwait, emphasized the shared vision behind the partnership. “The collaboration with Boursa Kuwait reflects our shared belief in the importance of youth empowerment and enhancing their capabilities to actively contribute to the national economy.”
“The private sector’s continued support and trust in the educational and developmental role of Injaz gives us the ability to expand the reach of our programs and impact a larger number of students across various educational levels,” she stated.
The partnership also aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, specifically Goal 4 (Quality Education) and Goal 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
