The Central Bank of Montenegro has launched the third and final cohort of the Women on Boards Montenegro programme, implemented with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The initiative is designed to strengthen corporate governance and increase women’s participation in senior economic decision-making by preparing candidates for board and leadership roles. The new cohort includes 22 participants. Over the coming months, they will work with domestic and international experts on corporate governance, regulatory frameworks, strategic decision-making, finance, sustainability and leadership, while also building professional networks. With this intake, the programme will have produced a total of 65 women leaders. In remarks at the launch, Governor Irena Radović tied the programme to Montenegro’s alignment with European corporate governance standards and the European framework that предусматриes greater participation of the underrepresented gender in large companies, at least 40 per cent of board members or 33 per cent of all director-level positions.
