Today, the Gauteng Department of Economic Development successfully hosted a financial literacy workshop in partnership with First National Bank (FNB).

The half-day workshop brought together 50 MSME owners to strengthen their financial knowledge and equip them with practical skills to better manage, grow and sustain their businesses.

Financial literacy is a critical building block for business success. By empowering entrepreneurs with the right knowledge, we are helping to build stronger, more sustainable businesses that contribute to Gauteng's economic growth.

Thank you to all the entrepreneurs who participated and to our partner, FNB, for helping us advance financial inclusion and business development.
