Mon, 07/28/2025

Ramallah – The Palestinian Union for Small and Microfinance Institutions convened a meeting hosted by the Palestinian Banking Corporation (Rowwad) at its headquarters in Ramallah to discuss the current state of financial inclusion in Palestine.

The meeting reviewed the achievements of microfinance institutions in expanding access to finance for marginalized groups, and identified ongoing challenges such as economic instability and limited financial awareness. The discussion also contributed to drafting a unified report on the Union’s efforts in promoting financial inclusion for the period July 2024 to June 2025.

Participants emphasized the sector’s vital role in reaching women, youth, and small business owners—groups often excluded from traditional financial services. This meeting is part of national efforts led by the Palestine Monetary Authority to promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
