Dubai: The UAE joined the Arab Monetary Fund (AMF) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) at the 6th Annual Arab Fiscal Forum organized virtually.

The UAE Ministry of Finance (MoF) represented the country at the event which sought to exchange experiences and discuss challenges facing decision and policy makers in the Arab region, in light of the economic and financial developments. It also deliberated means to improve measures for recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Speaking during the inauguration of the forum, Mr. Mohamed Hadi Al Hussaini, the UAE Minister of State for Financial Affairs pointed out that in light of the mitigated repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic, the proactive measure taken by the wise leadership of the UAE and Expo 2020 Dubai, the UAE enters the new 50 years with new national priorities and methodology.

Mr. Al Hussain remarked that the new national priorities and methodology are based on the ‘Principles of the 50’ and supported by a flexible federal budget that keeps pace with changes and developments, while further adding that “the UAE’s efforts in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic is a model to be emulated. These recovery efforts were accelerated by a comprehensive national response package that has reached over $90 billion to-date.”

The UAE’s wide accessibility to the vaccine combined with strictly enforced social distancing measures helped prevent widespread infection and allowed us to kick start recovery efforts early-on in 2020. The UAE is proud to have achieved a full vaccination rate of 89%. Overall, we were able to contain the economic downturn at 6.1% in 2020, with an immediate return to GDP growth of an expected 2.1% in 2021, and 4.2% in 2022.

Mr. Mohamed Hadi Al Hussaini said.

“As the UAE looks to the future, we believe the pace of the recovery phase can now be dictated by policymakers. The health response remains a priority – not just by administering vaccinations but by ensuring fair and equitable distribution of the vaccine globally. The UAE continues to enable global response efforts through the Hope Consortium, launched in 2020, to offer one of the most effective vaccine supply chains in the world, which has thus far handled over 100 million vaccine doses across 40 countries,” the Minister continued.

Concluding his inaugural speech, Mr. Hussaini raised two points to the IMF and the AMF, the first was the best proposed policies to address the growing concerns about inflation in the Middle East.

The Minister of State for Financial Affairs pointed out that inflation would lead to higher food prices and disruptions in the global supply chain during the pandemic, taking into consideration the financial conditions such as the higher levels of the national debt and the potential economic and social effects of high unemployment rates. He also raised the policy recommendations that both IMF and AMF propose to governments to preserve the wealth of the middle-class – which has been affected by the pandemic – and their disproportionate impact in increasing income inequality in the region.

The participants of the forum were also able to hear the observations made by Ms. Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, and Dr. Abdulrahman bin Abdullah Al Hamidi, Director-General and Chairman of the Arab Monetary Fund through their keynote speeches during the opening session.
