UAE: Want to become a finfluencer? Applications for financial literacy programme open

Registration is now open for the Youth Financial Advisors Programme, a four-month intensive training targeting UAE nationals aged 25-32 years old to become certified financial advisors with deep knowledge in financial literacy. Launched by the Federal Youth Authority in partnership with the Central Bank of UAE and Securities and Commodities Authority, the programme comes as financial literacy among UAE residents stands at just 30.7 per cent, significantly below other international players. "Promoting financial literacy among young people is a primary element of our national strategy," said Dr Sultan bin Saif Al Neyadi, UAE Minister of State for Youth Affairs, in a statement. "Enhancing participants' knowledge and capabilities is fundamental to ensure their ability to manage finances, laying foundations for a stable future." Recent studies indicate that 50 per cent of UAE residents spend more than they earn, while over 60 per cent are in debt, primarily due to credit card and personal loan expenses. Young Emiratis, in particular, are facing the brunt of it with males spending around Dh2,000 monthly and females Dh1,656 — significantly higher than their expatriate peers at Dh1,152 and Dh606, respectively. The Youth Financial Advisors Programme addresses these challenges through seven core modules, including financial literacy fundamentals, monetary economics, entrepreneurial finance, and investment strategies. Participants will complete 30+ hours of education over four months, featuring hands-on workshops, financial institution visits, and hackathons designed to inspire innovative solutions. Khaled Mohamed Balama, governor of the Central Bank of UAE, emphasised the initiative's importance, noting in a statement that 'the programme reflects ongoing commitment to train young Emirati professionals, enabling them to actively contribute to establishing a knowledge-based economy." Requirements and how to apply Eligibility requires UAE nationality, university degrees in business, finance, economics, or law, plus a minimum of one year of relevant experience. Candidates without specified degrees need three years of financial services experience. Strong communication skills and Arabic-English proficiency are mandatory. Upon completion, craduates will receive three credentials: a Federal Youth Authority certificate of completion, registration as a Financial Influencer by the SCA, and a Central Bank Financial Literacy Trainer certification. They'll then conduct volunteer training sessions 'to spread the message and build a national network of qualified financial consultants'. Applications are being accepted now through the Federal Youth Authority website, with selection based on academic qualifications, experience, and demonstrated commitment to community financial education.

Dubai Duty Free smashes all-time July sales record by nearly 6%

Dubai Duty Free (DDF) broke its all-time sales record in the month of July by nearly six per cent after posting sales of AED638.8 million (US$174 million). Its year-to-date sales of AED4.734 billion (US$1.29 billion) are up 5.86 per cent on the same period last year. The increase is notable given that passenger growth for the same period was less than 3 per cent. Dubai Airports said last month that passenger traffic at DXB, the world's busiest international aviation hub, served 46 million people across 222,000 flights through to the end of June, an increase of 2.3 per cent, despite the disruptions in the region. Dubai Duty Free on a high The previous record for July was AED602.8 million (US$164.1 million) set in 2023. DDF's sales are 9.7 per cent higher than July 2024 sales of AED582.26 million (US$158.6 million). This places July 2025 in ninth place amongst the Top 10 months in Dubai Duty Free's history. The company has achieved sales records in five out of seven months so far this year. Ramesh Cidambi, Managing Director of Dubai Duty Free, commented: 'We are delighted to report another strong sales month in what is already proving to be an exceptional year. 'This outstanding performance reflects the resilience of our retail operation and the continued demand for world-class shopping experiences. Achieving nearly 10 per cent sales growth in a month when we estimate passenger traffic remained relatively flat, is a testament to our team and product offering.' Sweet success Confectionery sales grew an incredible 57 per cent from July last year, and it made it to the Top five categories of DDF. Sales of watches increased 18.4 per cent and Precious Jewellery grew 16.8 per cent, but they still could not make it to the Top five categories, which was occupied by Perfumes, Liquor, Gold, Tobacco and Confectionery. Perfume sales rose by 10.3 per cent over the same month last year, Liquor sales rose by 1.7 per cent, while Tobacco saw a 2.2 per cent increase. Gold sales rose by 15.5 per cent. DDF said July's sales surge was fuelled in part by a growing appetite for iconic luxury brands. The company's CA and CB Fashion Boutiques, home to some of the world's most sought-after luxury labels, grew 11.36 per cent. Flagship brands such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Cartier were standout performers, reflecting sustained demand for high-end fashion and accessories at DXB. Cidambi added: 'Given the recent media reports outlining the difficulties facing global luxury brands, we are happy to buck that trend in our luxury Boutiques, where we are seeing continued demand for select brands.' Lure of Rolex DDF's pre-loved luxury boutique, REKLAIM, launched in December 2024, continued to grow. Located in Concourses A, including in the Emirates First Class Lounge, Concourse B and D, REKLAIM offers a curated selection of authenticated pre-owned watches and handbags from top-tier luxury brands. In just over seven months, REKLAIM has generated more than AED14.3 million (US$3.9 million) in sales of which AED1.6 million (US$440,000) was generated in July alone. Rolex was the stand-out performer, with a total of 176 sold since the launch of REKLAIM, with 16 sold in July alone.
