Alongside the planting, Burgan Bank promoted financial literacy among students and teachers by highlighting messages from the 'Let's Be Aware' (Diraya) banking awareness campaign, launched by the Central Bank of Kuwait with the Kuwait Banking Association and supported by Kuwaiti banks. The messages covered saving from an early age, sound financial planning and informed financial decisions.
