On this occasion, Naqeeb said: “It is a very proud moment for all of us across the Bank to celebrate the graduation of two of our most talented and aspiring employees, whose determination and commitment set an example for other talented candidates across Burgan. Year after year, Burgan Bank strives to lead with innovation and excellence, primarily due to the exceptional dedication of our talented employees, whose growth and development remain one of our top strategic objectives throughout the year.”
In honor of the Burgan graduates’ remarkable performance throughout the program, Mohammed Ahmed Al-Asfour was selected to deliver the ceremonial graduation speech on behalf of all graduates from across different banks. Today, KGDP is considered one of the most expansive and highly-regarded academic programs that equip and prepare future leaders in the banking and financial industry in Kuwait.

This comes as part of Burgan’s commitment to increasing the number of qualified calibers in the Kuwaiti banking and financial markets, enabling its employees to grow with confidence toward leadership positions that better impact the future of banking and propel it towards international acclaim.
