LuxSE, UN Women join forces to advance gender finance
The Luxembourg Stock Exchange on Friday said it has stepped up its efforts to advance gender equality in finance by cooperating with UN Women, the United Nations entity for gender equality and the empowerment of women.
The cooperation was announced during a signing ceremony at the exchange in the presence of HRH Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg, Luxembourg minister of finance Yuriko Backes and Luxembourg minister of the economy and development, Cooperation and Humanitarian Affairs Franz Fayot.
Women in Finance do a lot for gender equality
In the financial sector, less than 30 percent of all executive positions are held by women. In terms of gender equality, therefore, there is still room for improvement. Women in Finance, an initiative launched in 2018 by Febelfin, brings together ladies who want to change that, and with success.
