The United Arab Emirates Ministry of Finance said it took part in the joint annual meetings of Arab financial institutions, where Minister of State for Financial Affairs Mohamed bin Hadi Al Hussaini used the opening keynote to call for stronger Arab financial and institutional cooperation. In that speech, he argued that current regional and global conditions require more flexible financial tools and closer integration between economic policies, while the meetings themselves reviewed annual reports, assessed institutional performance and approved the financial statements of Arab financial institutions. Al Hussaini said Arab coordination should remain focused on priority financial issues as supply chain disruption, higher production costs and food security pressures reshape growth conditions. He highlighted governance, efficiency and knowledge exchange as the basis for institutional cooperation and pointed to investment in infrastructure, supply chain development and the digital economy as strategic areas. The programme included meetings of the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development, the Arab Investment and Export Credit Guarantee Corporation, the Arab Monetary Fund, the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa, and the Arab Authority for Agricultural Investment and Development. The Arab Monetary Fund Board of Governors also considered agenda items including the election of the chair and vice-chair for its 50th annual session.
