Al Arabiya reports that the UAE’s continued efforts to improve gender diversity in the boardroom have led to more women holding board positions this year (8.9 percent), up from 3.5 percent in 2020, according to research undertaken by Aurora50 and Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government (MBRSG).
The number of women holding board seats in UAE listed firms has more than doubled over in two years, Arabian Business reports, quoting Aurora50’s research report.
ACCA, the global body for accountants, interviewed Aurora50’s Suzanne Locke as it investigated what the new UAE board quota for PrJSCs meant for women in leadership.
