MoF Organises Workshop To Enhance Debt Collection Efficiency Via Cabinet Resolutions

The Ministry of Finance (MoF) recently held a workshop in Dubai to improve debt collection efficiency and support financial sustainability for federal entities. The event focused on Cabinet Resolutions No. (14) and No. (15) of 2025, which address outsourcing and instalment for collecting debts owed to these entities.

Attendees included directors from financial and legal departments of various federal bodies, along with representatives from the Ministry's Government Revenue and Legal Affairs divisions. The workshop aimed to familiarise participants with procedures that enhance flexibility in implementing these resolutions, aligning with Federal Decree-Law No. (15) of 2024.

Saeed Rashid Al Yateem, Assistant Under-Secretary for the Government Budget and Revenue Sector at the Ministry of Finance, stated, "This workshop reflects the Ministry of Finance’s commitment to enhancing transparency and efficiency in managing federal financial resources by empowering entities to implement the Cabinet resolutions on debt collection in a flexible and financially governed manner."

The session provided an overview of the legal frameworks related to the Cabinet Resolutions. It also discussed proposed models for outsourcing and instalment mechanisms. These discussions aimed at integrating these methods into existing financial systems within federal entities.

The workshop served as a platform for addressing participant queries and promoting knowledge exchange among stakeholders. This initiative is part of MoF's ongoing efforts to support federal entities in their roles as creditors responsible for dues collection.

By equipping federal bodies with necessary tools and mechanisms, the Ministry aims to ensure swift implementation of these resolutions. This approach is expected to boost confidence in the federal financial system while advancing its sustainability.

The event highlighted how adopting outsourcing and instalment strategies can significantly improve financial collections' efficiency. It also emphasised raising compliance levels across federal entities through these innovative measures.

This strategic move by MoF underscores its dedication to fostering a transparent and efficient management system for federal financial resources. By doing so, it aims to empower entities in implementing debt collection processes effectively.
