The Ministry of Finance (MoF) organised an interactive seminar on financial policies and the labour market, held under the theme "Enabling Economic Growth" in Dubai.

Representatives from local finance departments attended the symposium aimed at promoting constructive dialogue between policymakers and economists, and to further explore how financial policies affect the labour market.

Younis Haji Al Khoori, Under-Secretary of Ministry of Finance, reaffirmed the Ministry's commitment to fostering an inclusive and cooperative environment that encourages policymakers, economists, business executives, researchers, and all other stakeholders to contribute to shaping the future of financial policies and labour markets. This is accomplished by bringing together various points of view in order to find solutions that promote sustainable economic growth and enhance labour market outcomes. Additionally, this symposium comes within the Ministry’s endeavours to encourage equitable economic opportunities and promote sustainable growth. Al Khoori also indicated that the Ministry is working continuously to devise sound financial policies that promote productive labour markets towards greater empowerment and building a better future for all.

Al Khoori said,

“The Ministry of Finance is keen to continue strengthening communication and coordination with all local finance departments and provide the support needed to reach a more comprehensive understanding of the relationship between public finance policy and labour market outcomes. We are also keen to offer the tools and skills for them to analyse and design effective contributions to shaping public finance policies. All of which contributes to improving the performance of the labour market, achieving labour markets’ strategic objectives, and enhancing the UAE’s competitiveness in the financial and economic fields.”

The symposium’s programme included presentations about practices, interactive discussions, networking opportunities, case study analysis and practical exercises.
