In his opening message, delivered by Mr Naghi Jabbarov, OIC Secretary-General Hissein Brahim Taha emphasised that youth-led businesses are essential for wealth generation and job creation. He urged policymakers and financial institutions to collaborate on establishing youth-focused microcredit options, affordable financing, and startup grants.
