(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat -
National Bank of Oman's (NBO) acting CEO, Sayyid Wasfi Jamshid al Said, recently received Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Institute's chief executive officer Paul Smith at the bank's headquarters in Muscat.
The meeting reinforced the long-lasting partnership between the two entities with plans to sign a memorandum of understanding for future workshops with NBO's Academy of Excellence, in addition to raising awareness on the latest practices in the banking industry, a press release said.
'NBO and the CFA Institute share a common goal in equipping the next generation of young professionals with the needed skills and expertise to embrace the future head-on,' Said said. 'The growth of any industry depends on the people behind it, and at NBO we strongly believe in the power of people and what are they capable of achieving both individually and collectively.'
He added, 'We enjoy a solid and fruitful relationship with CFA and we look forward to working closely with them as they further develop their Oman Chapter.'
Smith said, 'We are thrilled to be strengthening our presence in Oman, as we strive to empower more and more Omani professionals to reach their full potential. Our relationship with NBO has been instrumental in our endeavours and without its unrelenting support over the past decade, CFA Oman would not be where it is today.'
The CFA Institute is considered the largest association of investment professionals in the world and to date has developed over 70 CFA Charter holders and members in Oman. For over ten years, it has championed the global education and professional development body in Oman as part of its role as a key driver of nurturing Omani talent.
