Whether it’s swiftly responding to global economic shifts, navigating complex policy environments, or seizing opportunities with agility — the Ministry proved it has the muscle and the mindset to lead.
Undersecretary Younis Haji Al Khoori called it a “proud moment” that reflects the Ministry’s unshakable commitment to operational excellence and global best practices. He emphasized that resilience isn’t just about survival — it’s about sustainable growth, visionary planning, and transforming challenges into catalysts for innovation. This global validation reinforces the Ministry’s pivotal role in securing the UAE’s place as a premier financial powerhouse in the region and beyond.
Beyond accolades, this achievement aligns with national visions like ‘We the UAE 2031’ and ‘UAE Centennial 2071’, aiming for a future where resilience isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a built-in feature of every government system. By fostering a resilient, flexible, and future-ready financial framework, the Ministry of Finance is ensuring that the UAE doesn’t just adapt to change — it defines it.
