Banking Sector a Key Partner in Social Initiatives, Central Bank Adviser Says

Egypt’s banking sector is a key partner in making social initiatives succeed, according to Lamis Negm, adviser to the governor of the Central Bank of Egypt.

Negm said banks’ corporate social responsibility initiatives have moved beyond traditional financial support toward a more comprehensive approach to economic empowerment.

That approach includes providing production tools and training, alongside access to marketing channels, to help small enterprises sustain their activities.

Her remarks highlighted a shift from funding alone to support that addresses the practical needs of small businesses, from building production capacity to reaching customers.
