Mohammed Al Marzouki, Senior Manager, National Finance said in appreciation of the cooperation agreement between Sharakah and National Finance, “The workshop was the 8th among the planned upcoming workshops that will be executed. These workshops enable us to connect with SMEs to broaden our understanding of their needs and different challenges they face. This allows us to widen the range of services that are catered for SMEs.”
