UAE women lead in building resilient economy, say experts

Around 30 per cent of ICAI’s members are women and they account for 40 per cent of students.

The UAE women are spearheading the change in building a resilient economy and contributing substantially to its growth, said eminent women at a panel discussion organised by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), to celebrate International Women’s Day 2022.

Alisha Moopen, deputy managing director of Aster DM Healthcare, chief guest at the event, said: “It was my absolute honour and privilege to address the elite gathering at the ICAI International Women’s Day event. We witness women all around the world breaking the bias everyday. My message to all the incredible women out there would be to take a little bit of time to take better care of your own health which would empower and enable you to take better care of everyone around you, be it as mother, wife, sister, or even as a career professional.”

ICAI Dubai Chapter celebrated International Women’s Day on March 5, 2022, as a curtain-raiser for the IWD of March 8, 2022. Sunder Nurani, chairman of, ICAI Dubai Chapter, said: “Together we can forge women’s equality and collectively we can all #BreakTheBias which is the theme of International Women’s Day for the year 2022. Any sustainable economic growth is possible only if there is gender diversity and contribution from men and women. Around 30 per cent of ICAI’s members are women and they account for 40 per cent of students.”
