Under the patronage of the Crown Prince and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Federal Youth Authority has launched the Young Economist Program.

The programme aims to equip young UAE economists with the knowledge and skills needed to become future leaders in the field and jump-start their careers in economic organisations. It also seeks to produce a new generation of economists that can support the objectives of "2020: Towards the next 50" and the UAE Centennial 2071. The first edition of the programme will feature 50 participants.

On the occasion, the Sheikh Hamdan said that young Emiratis are being prepared to shape the future of the country and help build its knowledge-based economy as part of the vision of transforming the UAE into a global economic hub and an incubator for entrepreneurship.
