In order to preserve Kuwait’s traditions and to support local SMEs

• Abdullah Al-Mulaifi: We are keen to consolidate the principles of social sustainability and to communicate with the community on various occasions

For the third consecutive year, and as part of its various community events and initiatives during the holy month of Ramadan, Gulf Bank is organizing "Nuqsat Al-Khamees ", in collaboration with several Kuwaiti restaurants and bakeries, starting next Thursday, 30 March 2023.

The Assistant Manager of Corporate Communications at Gulf Bank, Abdullah Al-Mulaifi said, “We are keen to organize “Nuqsat Al-Khamees” annually to revive this authentic Kuwaiti tradition, and to enhance our communication with the community throughout the holy month of Ramadan. This also helps to support local SMEs by marketing their products.”

He added: "We have developed “Nuqsat Al-Khamees” using its simple, original form, which is based on distributing simple home-food dishes to family, neighbors, and friends – spreading the spirit of connection, love, and cooperation within the community.”

Al-Mulaifi stated that Gulf Bank helps SMEs to further distribute their products to the public, which enables their restaurants and bakeries to reach new segments of customers and help increase their growth and expansion.

He mentioned that this initiative is one of Gulf Bank’s charitable events during the holy month of Ramadan, which reflects the Bank's involvement with the community over the last sixty years, and its integral part in Kuwait's economic and social history.
