Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB), the largest Shariah-compliant bank in Qatar, is committed to enhancing the financial literacy of Qatari youth and others, said Bassel Gamal, QIB Group CEO. He was speaking at the company’s annual Ramadan gathering which was held at the Four Seasons Hotel Doha on Thursday.

The event was attended by the QIB Group executive management, staff members and their families, as well as members of local media. This year’s guest of honour was INJAZ Qatar, where they showcased milestones of the QIB and INJAZ Qatar joint Financial Literacy Program ‘How Money Works?”, which aims to help Qatari youth start making smart financial decisions in their life. The QIB volunteers who have delivered the programme in the 2018-2019 academic year were honoured during the event.

Marking the celebration of the holy month of Ramadan, the company also upheld the annual tradition of hosting Ghabga event for its employees.

Ghabga, a regular feature on QIB’s calendar, aims to celebrate Ramadan traditions, strengthen employee relations, and endorse the spirit of the holy month.

On this occasion, Gamal said: “The annual QIB Ghabga is our way of celebrating the holy month of Ramadan with our employees. It allows us to connect with each other.” The evening was highlighted by a range of activities held in an interactive environment, including a raffle draw and generous prizes. The event was an excellent opportunity for employees and their families to network and socialise while enjoying the Ramadan atmosphere.
