In a move to strengthen financial sustainability and improve debt collection efficiency, the UAE Ministry of Finance (MoF) organised a dedicated workshop in Dubai to discuss the implementation of Cabinet Resolution No. (14) and Cabinet Resolution No. (15) of 2025. These resolutions focus on the outsourcing and instalment of debt collection from federal entities.
The session brought together financial and legal directors from various federal bodies, alongside officials from the Ministry’s Government Revenue and Legal Affairs departments. It formed part of the Ministry’s broader effort to enhance the performance of federal entities in their role as creditors and to familiarize them with the mechanisms that enable effective implementation of these Cabinet decisions.
The resolutions, aligned with Federal Decree-Law No. (15) of 2024 are intended to offer greater flexibility in collecting dues while supporting the development of a more resilient and sustainable federal financial system.
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.
Implementing outsourcing and instalment mechanisms is an important step toward advancing the federal financial system and ensuring financial sustainability. At the Ministry, we are keen to provide full support to federal entities and equip them with the tools and mechanisms needed to ensure the swift and effective implementation of these resolutions, thereby strengthening confidence in the federal financial system.”
The workshop provided an in-depth explanation of the legal and regulatory frameworks surrounding the Cabinet Resolutions. Participants engaged in detailed discussions on proposed execution models for outsourcing and instalment, and how these can be integrated into the existing financial operations of federal entities.
The session also served as a platform for open dialogue, addressing participants’ questions and facilitating the exchange of insights among stakeholders, reinforcing the Ministry’s collaborative approach to reform and continuous improvement.
