The Emirates Institute for Banking and Financial Studies, a regional leader in banking and finance education and training, celebrated the UAE’s 48th UAE National Day at the Institute’s campuses in Sharjah and Abu Dhabi.

Jamal Al Jassmi, General Manager of EIBFS, along with other members of the faculty were present at the Institute’s new campus in Sharjah and Abu Dhabi where the tune of the UAE national anthem was played by the Musical Band of Sharjah Police Science Academy. There was also a performance by Al Ansar International Private School at the Sharjah campus. Heritage Club Ensemble and Al – Manara Private School also performed at the Abu Dhabi campus. The EIBFS faculty, administrative staff, students and guests from the UAE banking community attended the ceremony, which also included entertainment activities. The day was filled with activities and performances.

In his speech, Al Jassmi said: “We are proud to be a part of the UAE’s growth journey. The UAE National Day is a time to reflect on the amazing vision of the country’s founding fathers, and celebrate the growth witnessed in the last five decades. At our national day celebrations, we also supported our talented students by providing them the space to showcase their projects, as part of our commitment to encourage our students’ skills of presenting. It was also a pleasure to have a group of bankers from RAK Bank amidst us as part of the celebrations.”

He added: “Since we first started in 1983, we have been supporting one of UAE’s most dynamic industry, the banking and finance sector. In line with the government’s Emiratization drive in the financial sector, EIBFS continues to work with the HR and talent heads of UAE banks and insurance companies to build a future generation of Emirati leaders. Our vision is also to provide necessary upskilling in technology and digitisation in keeping with the country’s growth vision.”
