In 1996, the EIF took a step forward by signing an agreement with The Institute of Canadian Bankers, Montreal, Canada.
Since its inception in 1997, 60 students have graduated from the program to which most are working in the banking sector and many are holding senior positions.
[citation needed] EIF officially launched "Banking and Finance UAE" Magazine in December 2003.
The magazine aims to provide executives with the information required to keep them up to date with the rapid changes taking place within their industry.
