“Financial Literacy and Analysis” workshops for women by EBRD and ARFIN UCO

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and ARFIN Universal Credit Organization (UCO) recently partnered to host a series of high-impact “Financial Literacy and Analysis” workshops for women entrepreneurs across Armenia. These sessions, conducted in Yerevan, Vanadzor, and Gyumri, were expertly led by Optimize Consulting’s CEO and Optimize Academy’s Co-founder, Hrayr Barsoumian.

Participants gained critical, practical insights essential for business stability and growth, focusing on financial literacy, robust budgeting, accurate forecasting, and strategic business development. Beyond the technical training, the workshops provided valuable networking opportunities, fostering a collaborative environment where women entrepreneurs could connect, share resources, and actively support each other’s professional growth. This initiative underscores the commitment of all partners to strengthening the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Armenia.
