As the world celebrates International Women’s Day 2025, XTB reaffirms its commitment to empowering women through financial technology and education. With a mission to make investing more accessible, XTB’s online investing platform, mobile app, and extensive educational resources are playing a key role in closing the gender gap in investing. The results are clear: more women than ever are taking control of their financial futures.
Over the past year, the share of female investors on XTB’s platform has seen significant growth across multiple regions. In Poland, the percentage of female investors rose from 13.1% to 15.2%, while Portugal saw an increase from 12.3% to 15.9%. In Romania and the MENA region, women now represent over 20% of all investors, reflecting a growing shift towards financial inclusion.
Notably, the MENA region has emerged as a leader in the young women investors category, with the youngest average age of female investors being 31 – compared to 40 in Europe. The top traded CFDs by women in the MENA region were Gold, US100 and US30, and the most traded stocks among the same group were Nvidia, Tesla, and Super Micro Computer.
“Increasing women’s participation in financial markets is not just about closing gaps – it’s about creating opportunities,” said Achraf Drid, Senior Executive Officer at XTB MENA. “At XTB, we are committed to breaking barriers through technology, education, and financial accessibility. The rise in female investors across key markets shows that women are more engaged than ever in securing their financial futures, and we’re proud to be a part of this transformation.”
Beyond providing instant access to global markets, XTB’s platform is an easily accessible hub for financial education, offering webinars, courses, and in-depth market analysis for investors of all experience levels, which women around the world are increasingly leveraging. With multilingual support available 24/5, XTB ensures that every investor – regardless of background – has the resources they need to make informed financial decisions.
Additionally, with the launch of Investment Plans, a long-term passive investing product, all new investors can now leverage ETFs to build diversified portfolios with ease.
As International Women’s Day highlights the importance of financial empowerment, XTB remains dedicated to expanding women’s access to investment opportunities. By continuing to develop innovative and accessible solutions and fostering an inclusive financial landscape, XTB is helping women worldwide take charge of their financial independence – one investment at a time.
