Research shows that when women entrepreneurs are given the resources and support, they need to succeed, they are more likely to invest in their families and communities, create jobs, and drive economic growth. However, they often face significant barriers to starting and growing their businesses, including limited access to finance, lack of training and mentorship opportunities, and cultural biases. In this episode, Leila Serhan, Visa’s Senior Vice President and Group Country Manager for North Africa, Levant, and Pakistan, speaks to Lamise Aly Negm, Advisor to the Governor of the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Lamise will explain how empowering women-owned businesses can unlock significant economic potential and promote more inclusive and sustainable economic growth not only in Egypt but worldwide.
