The session was led by Mr. Anan Al-Samri, Director of the Market Conduct Department at the Palestine Monetary Authority.

The workshop provided in-depth analysis of the causes and effects of shekel accumulation on the Palestinian financial and banking systems, as well as the measures taken by the PMA to mitigate the issue by promoting digital payment infrastructure and ensuring financial stability.

The discussion engaged students and academics in a rich dialogue on the relationship between monetary policy, the real economy, and the banking sector’s role in supporting sustainable growth.

This workshop forms part of the Faculty’s ongoing efforts to link academic knowledge with professional practice and strengthen collaboration with leading national institutions in the financial sector.
