Tunis hosts Arab Savings & Financial Literacy Conference 2025
Held under the patronage of the Tunisian Central Bank, the event is organised by MenaMoney, the Bahrain-based financial conferences organiser, and the Financial Integration Observatory of the Tunisian Central Bank at the Sheraton Hotel during the period 2 – 3 July 2025. The conference will be inaugurated by His Excellency Mr. Fethi Zouhair Nouri, Governor of the Tunisian Central Bank.
Executives from central banks, local banks, insurance companies and federations, investment management firms, fintech businesses, financial education centres, social inclusion advisers and HR leaders running employee savings and benefits speak at this annual gathering.
Topics to be addressed this year include strategies and funding of financial literacy programs, financial literacy for building the savings and investment market, digital finance for economic development, role of artificial intelligence in financial literacy, impact of financial literacy on consumer protection, behavioural finance, role of financial institutions in sustainable finance, and role of microfinance in financial inclusion
Discussions of this regional meeting focus on features of the national strategy for financial literacy and inclusion, successful national experiences of a number of countries and institutions to improve the level of financial, savings and investment literacy around the world and ways to adopt these locally in our Arab region.
Ebrahim K Ebrahim, CEO of MenaMoney, said the event provides a unique opportunity for central bankers, regulators, industry leaders, academics and policy makers to discuss current financial education needs, financial literacy gaps and priorities.
'The cost-of-living difficulties faced in many parts of the world has emphasised the importance of financial literacy as the gap between the financially resilient and the financially fragile widens,' he pointed out, adding that it is now recognised that poor financial skills have left many households unprepared to face crises and their consequences.
He elaborated that financial literacy is becoming increasingly important in light of public health, political and economic crises the world has seen in recent years, and the exponential growth of digital technologies providing access to financial services but also posing risks to consumers. For all these reasons, the family's financial literacy is a must, in order to take the best economic measures at the present and secure a better financial future in the long term.
'Improving households' financial well-being by increasing their financial literacy should be a national priority across the Arab world,' said Mr. Ebrahim.
The first-of-its-kind conference aims to create a vital debate and an information-sharing platform on financial inclusion and household financial resilience.

Code, coin and confidence: Can digital currency earn consumer trust?
Imagine a future where your paycheck arrives in your wallet before your coffee order finishes brewing, where remittances skip borders like emails, and where the value you hold isn't printed on paper but encrypted in trust. Welcome to the era where money loses its face but hopefully not your faith. In the UAE, a land of hyper-modern skylines and forward-thinking regulation, this future is quietly becoming the present. But even here, where the appetite for innovation is insatiable, digital currency isn't advancing without caution. The challenge isn't whether the technology works. It's whether people believe it will work for them. Let's dives deep into how fintech pioneers and visionaries are earning consumer confidence; not just with code, but with clarity, consistency, and community. The trust gap in a digital economy Ask any consumer what's stopping them from using crypto or blockchain-based payment systems, and you'll hear a common refrain: 'Is it safe?' According to Kamal Youssefi, Co-founder and Executive Chairman of The Hashgraph Group, 'UAE users are no different from global ones who store or utilise digital currencies. Their greatest concerns are security, safe custody, and asset volatility.' These are not merely abstract concerns. They're grounded in real-world risks - phishing scams, loss of private keys, price swings, and the perception that digital assets exist in an unregulated Wild West. To bridge this gap, The Hashgraph Association has launched several enterprise-grade applications aimed at mitigating these pain points. One such initiative is their partnership with Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) on a Digital Assets Wills project. This platform allows users to manage and pass on digital assets - ranging from Bitcoin and Ethereum to NFTs - through a non-custodial, court-backed wallet, granting users both flexibility and security. The platform supports a variety of assets, including ETH, BTC, MATIC, USDC, USDT, and Hedera (HBAR), with plans to expand to NFT standards such as ERC-721, ERC-115, and Ordinals. According to Youssefi, 'Future enhancements will deepen user control and transparency, while maintaining ironclad safeguards for asset transfer.' In parallel, a partnership between The Hashgraph Association and Taurus is offering enhanced digital asset custody solutions. With staking, tokenisation, and regulatory-grade protection, such initiatives are setting new benchmarks in trust and credibility. Blockchain: Security by design Transparency has long been touted as blockchain's biggest value proposition - and for good reason. With every transaction verifiable and immutable, blockchain-based systems make fraud nearly impossible, provided best practices are followed. Youssefi points to Hedera's infrastructure as an example. 'Hedera processes over 10,000 transactions per second with three-second finality and an average cost of just $0.0001 - using far less energy than traditional blockchains. Every transaction is transparent and permanent.' This technical foundation is now fueling futuristic applications. Case in point: Hashgraph's investment in SEALCOIN, an IoT-focused platform enabling devices to conduct autonomous, verifiable transactions. 'In tomorrow's world,' Youssefi explains, 'devices will transact without humans. Blockchain ensures these exchanges remain secure and auditable.' This kind of trustless system, paradoxically, builds trust; particularly among enterprise and governmental stakeholders who require both scalability and accountability. Blockchain also enhances traceability, a critical factor in sectors like supply chain, healthcare, and environmental governance. When every data point is timestamped and tamper-proof, organisations are more likely to integrate blockchain into core operations - an evolution that boosts consumer confidence indirectly. Tokenisation: Making the intangible tangible Another powerful tool in the trust arsenal is tokenisation - the conversion of real-world assets into digital tokens on the blockchain. From real estate and bonds to art and intellectual property, tokenisation enables fractional ownership, faster transfers, and simplified access. 'The future of fintech lies in the tokenisation of financial products,' says Youssefi. 'It's not just about efficiency - it's about making investments accessible, traceable, and trustworthy.' One of Hashgraph's standout projects is the tokenisation of Sukuk, Islamic financial certificates akin to bonds. The project's goal is to bring Shariah-compliant investments onto the blockchain, opening them up to a global Muslim investor base. Additional projects in carbon credit and real-world asset tokenisation are also in development. For consumers, these innovations offer a more transparent financial experience - where every token has a trail, and every transaction a timestamp. It also simplifies compliance and auditability, making digital assets more appealing to institutional investors. Tokenisation also has the potential to bring liquidity to traditionally illiquid markets. Properties, antiques, or even music royalties can be broken into digital shares, traded seamlessly, and accessed globally - a revolution in asset democratisation. Code without a face: Can you trust it? In traditional finance, currencies bear the faces of presidents and monarchs - symbols of state-backed stability. But what does trust look like when your money has no face? 'The face of trust on a currency is a symbol of common belief in value,' Youssefi says. 'In the age of crypto, the face is no longer a person - it's the protocol.' This sentiment is echoed by Talal Tabbaa, CEO of CoinMENA, a UAE-licensed crypto exchange. 'Trust in Bitcoin comes from transparency and code - not from central banks or printed faces. Bitcoin runs on rules, not rulers.' CoinMENA's formula for earning consumer confidence? Licensing, transparency, and time. 'Consistent delivery of top-tier service and education builds organic, word-of-mouth trust,' says Tabbaa. This principle - trust in the protocol - underscores a major shift in financial culture. In decentralised systems, assurance comes from open-source code, verifiable consensus, and public ledgers. The role of intermediaries diminishes, and power returns to the individual user. Decoding UAE's appetite for crypto According to the 2024 Chainalysis report, over 34 per cent of UAE citizens now hold digital assets - a sharp contrast to the global average of just four per cent. This surge is directly tied to the UAE's regulatory foresight. 'Mass adoption of digital currencies will only follow the establishment of trust frameworks,' says Youssefi. 'The UAE has taken a global leadership role in regulating this space, creating fertile ground for innovation and adoption.' The UAE's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) has rolled out detailed guidelines for exchanges, custodians, and token issuers. This proactive approach balances consumer protection with room for innovation; creating a sandbox for secure experimentation. For users, that trust is multi-layered. It's about knowing their platform is licensed. It's about believing that, even in volatility, systems are in place to protect their interests. Regulatory clarity, in turn, attracts international players and investment. From speculation to application Is crypto still a speculative asset, or has it become a utility? For Tabbaa, the answer is both. 'Some buy Bitcoin to hedge inflation, others use stablecoins for B2B transfers. And yes, some are still chasing memecoins. The use-cases are evolving.' But increasingly, practical utility is emerging - especially in remittances and merchant payments. That's where companies like Bitget come in. According to Vugar Usi Zade, Chief Operating Officer of Bitget, 'We're witnessing a shift. In the UAE, where digital literacy is high, crypto is being used for more than speculation. It's being integrated into e-commerce, cross-border payments, and everyday transactions.' Platforms like PayFi, which bridge Web2 and Web3 ecosystems, are making blockchain benefits accessible to users without technical know-how. Integration into point-of-sale systems, payroll, and government disbursements may be next. As utility deepens, volatility becomes a smaller piece of the picture. Building credibility brick by brick In an industry known for flash and volatility, how do you build long-term credibility? For Bitget, the answer lies in radical transparency. 'We were among the first to implement real-time Proof of Reserves - users can verify, at any time, that their assets are fully backed,' says Zade. The company has also launched a $300 million Protection Fund, acting as a user safety net. 'These aren't marketing gimmicks,' Zade insists. 'They're infrastructure-level assurances.' Education is another pillar. 'In this space, self-responsibility is key. We focus on making users aware of scams, phishing, and safe wallet practices.' Partnerships with cybersecurity firms and constant audits further reinforce user confidence. As regulatory expectations rise, only platforms committed to full compliance will thrive. In a digital world where a wrong click can mean irreversible loss, these preventive steps go a long way in building - and sustaining - trust. A new financial order built on code We are on the cusp of a financial transformation. Digital assets are evolving from speculative tools to foundational pillars of tomorrow's economy. But for that transformation to be complete, fintechs must continue investing in infrastructure that's not just scalable, but scrupulous. Regulation must keep pace with innovation. And above all, the conversation around trust must be as dynamic as the technologies it underpins. As Zade puts it, 'Credibility isn't declared; it's proven. And platforms that prioritise transparency over hype will win the long game.' The financial institutions of the future may not have grand lobbies or bank tellers but they'll have lines of code and transparent protocols working at the speed of trust. Rewriting the ledger of trust There was a time when trust was carved in stone, stamped in wax, or printed on banknotes bearing royal signatures. But in this era of digital flows and decentralised networks, trust is becoming invisible, yet no less powerful. The UAE's fintech revolution is not about replacing money with code. It's about replacing uncertainty with confidence - built not on blind faith, but on cryptographic proof, transparent systems, and shared belief in a better financial future. So, can a currency with no face earn your trust? Maybe not overnight. But block by block, byte by byte, and choice by choice, the future of money is earning more than just value, it's earning something far rarer in today's digital age: credibility. Digital currency doesn't just ask you to rethink money. It asks you to rethink who you trust and why. Not a face. Not a building. But a line of code. A timestamp. A consensus. In the UAE, fintech isn't waiting for trust to appear. It's architecting it, line by line, law by law. From high-rise regulators to hashgraph innovators, the movement isn't about hyp. Because the future of finance isn't faceless. It's fearless. And it's already here wallet-ready and waiting. And in this new economy, that might just be the most valuable currency of all.
