Oman launches ‘She and Money’ financial literacy program
Central Bank initiative empowers women with budgeting, savings, and investment skills, promoting economic independence and national development
MUSCAT, Oman (MNTV) — The Central Bank of Oman (CBO) has launched the ‘She and Money’ program to enhance financial literacy among Omani women, with a focus on rural and underserved communities.
The initiative aims to strengthen economic independence and responsible money management across the sultanate.
Implemented in partnership with non-governmental organizations and civil society institutions, the program leverages community-based networks to maximize outreach and engagement.
Participants receive training in core financial skills, including budgeting, saving, investment planning, and responsible borrowing, while also learning to avoid the risks of unplanned debt.
CBO officials said empowering women financially is central to broader social and economic development, noting that financially independent women contribute to stronger households and a more resilient national economy.
The initiative is designed to deliver measurable impact at the individual, family, and community levels.
As the programme expands and more organizations participate, CBO expects it to foster a more inclusive and secure financial environment.
Officials emphasized that equipping women with financial knowledge today represents an investment in long-term prosperity, societal progress, and sustainable economic growth for Oman.
