June 22, 2011 - PRLog -- New York, NY, Cengage Learning EMEA has chosen an excerpt of an article written by Edcomm Banker’s Academy’s President and Founder, Dr. Linda Eagle, on the subject of women working in the Middle Eastern financial industry to be included in a new textbook edition. The textbook, entitled “Principles of Economics – Middle East Edition” by N. Gregory Mankiw and Mohamed Hashem Rashwan, is expected to be published by Cengage Learning EMEA in January 2012.

In the excerpt, taken from “Making Their Mark: Women Working in the Middle Eastern Financial Industry,” Dr. Eagle explains that the Middle East in particular has experienced a large increase in the number of women taking on new roles and higher positions in financial institutions throughout the region. An industry previously dominated by men, the Middle Eastern financial sector is fast becoming a target for women ready to take hold of their own futures and make a mark in the workplace.

According to Dr. Eagle, the Islamic Banking industry is growing and providing many new opportunities for individuals seeking careers in the financial industry making it an attractive option for women working in the Middle East. “Women can take advantage of the many opportunities in the Middle Eastern financial industry by seeking educational programs to begin a new career or gain more experience in their existing positions,” said Dr. Eagle.
