Led by FERG board members, the event featured presentations, discussions and an informative Q&A session with the FERG community.
Mr. Mohamed Al Ansari, Chairman, FERG said “Our vision is to strengthen the UAE’s position as a leader in the exchange and remittance business with the support and guidance of the Central Bank and Government of the UAE. We aim to enhance our operations and contribute meaningfully to the nation's economic strength, fostering a resilient and progressive financial landscape that resonates globally."
