MUSCAT: Following on the success of the ‘Little Investor’ financial literacy programme, Meethaq, the pioneer of Islamic banking in Oman from Bank Muscat, in step with the bank’s vision ‘To serve you better, everyday’ and commitment to promoting sustainable development, signed an agreement with Injaz Oman to extend the programme to reach 10,000 more school students across the Sultanate.

Targetting school students, the ‘Little Investor’ programme is aimed at developing a healthy savings habit as well as entrepreneurial skills from an early age. Sulaiman al Harthy, Deputy Chief Executive Officer — Islamic Banking, and Khaula al Harthy, Chief Executive officer of Injaz Oman, signed the agreement at the bank’s head office.

Sulaiman al Harthy said: “Meethaq is proud to continue with the ‘Little Investor’ programme to reach a larger segment of students across the Sultanate. At a time when Islamic finance is consolidating its role in supporting economic and social development, Meethaq reckons sustainable social development as a great opportunity to complement the country’s progress and development. Meethaq remains committed to social responsibility initiatives contributing to sustainable development in Oman. We are grateful to the Ministry of Education and Injaz Oman for the support extended to the programme.”

Khaula al Harthy said: “Injaz Oman is pleased to cooperate for the second year in a row with Meethaq Islamic Banking. The ‘Little Investor’ programme demonstrates the importance of building a strong financial culture among Oman’s younger generation responsible for the country’s future development.”
