Ethiopia: Ministry of Finance Launches First-Ever Issuance Calendar for Treasury (T)-Bills
This milestone supports the government's 'reset, reform, and relaunch' agenda, deepening the domestic debt market and improving transparency. By giving market participants clear visibility of upcoming auctions, the calendar enhances predictability and builds investor confidence. It also underscores the government's commitment to borrow domestically in ways that limit inflation and safeguard macroeconomic stability.
The calendar embodies the shift toward a genuinely market-based approach to Treasury-bill issuance. This compliments the opening of the secondary market and the introduction of more competitive retail auctions open to a wider range of investors through the Ethiopian Securities Exchange.
The Ministry of Finance will continue to build on this momentum by promoting openness, broadening investor participation, and aligning Ethiopia's debt-management practices with international best practice.

DGHR recognises employee behind ‘Summer Working Hours' proposal to reinforce culture of participation and government innovation
Dubai: In line with its efforts to reinforce the role of human capital in improving government and institutional performance, the Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR)honoured Dr Mohammed Suhail Al Muhairi, a government employee in the emirate, for proposing the 'Summer Working Hours' initiative. This recognition highlights his innovative contribution to enhancing the workplace environment and employee well-being during the summer months. It also reflects the Department's unwavering commitment to promoting a culture of participation and innovation across government entities. This recognition signifies DGHR's ongoing efforts to encourage individual initiatives and innovative concepts emerging from the government sector. The key objective of these ideas is to improve the public sector and boost employees' performance and service quality, aligning with the Dubai Government's vision to create a flexible work environment. H.E. Abdullah Ali Bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director General of DGHR Department, appreciated creative talents within Dubai's government work environment. He also underscored the Department's progressive strategy to invest in human capital by nurturing talents and empowering them to contribute meaningfully to shape institutional policies that can transform and drive sustainable development across government entities. H.E. said: 'Dubai's government entities remain committed to building a flexible work environment where talents are empowered to thrive and suggest innovative ideas. With the right support, these ideas can be translated into effective success stories that make a difference in the lives of employees and the wider community, while shaping the future of the country's public sector. This recognition is not just an acknowledgement of a single idea. At DGHR, we believe that it is a reaffirmation of our deep-rooted commitment to institutional innovation and our confidence in turning individual contributions into practical solutions that help achieve Dubai's vision of a more resilient and prosperous future.' In line with this approach, DGHR adopted the innovative proposal and transformed it into an official government decision under the 'Our Flexible Summer' initiative. Launched in 2024 with the active participation of several government entities, the initiative was designed to directly address employees' requirements during the summer months. It was launched through a pilot phase, during which the Department developed a structured implementation framework. Furthermore, DGHR closely observed the initiative's development, execution, and impact across all operational aspects, further enhancing the work environment and ensuring employee well-being. During the pilot phase assessment, the Department received tangible positive outcomes, such as a notable increase in key performance indicators, including productivity, customer service, and employee satisfaction. It also resulted in an 87 per cent improvement in employees' ability to complete tasks on time, a 96 per cent improvement in customer service with zero complaints and a 98 per cent improvement in employees' happiness and enthusiasm in the workplace. These outcomes reaffirm the Department's commitment and its strong belief in the significance of listening to employees, drawing on their ideas and experiences, and translating individuals' ideas into actionable, measurable institutional policies. This approach not only boosts employee performance and productivity but also ensures that government services meet the highest standards of innovation and efficiency, without compromising employee well-being or experience. The Department remains dedicated to developing a progressive government work model based on innovation, collaboration and sustainability. It continues to promote a supportive environment that encourages progress and initiative, values individual contributions, and maintains innovative and sustainable practices, further ensuring excellence, well-being, and high performance across the government sector and the nation. -Ends- For further information, please contact: Orient Planet Group (OPG) Email: media@ Website:

The Government Experience Exchange Programme (GEEP), under the UAE Ministry of Cabinet Affairs, launched a Global Ideation Lab in collaboration with New York University (NYU). The Ideation Lab was held alongside the UAE delegation's participation at the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) on Sustainable Development 2025, organized by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs at the UN Headquarters in New York City. It brought together leading experts, academics, UN officials, diplomats, policymakers, and university students to explore new prospects in government sector innovation and global cooperation. The session drew participation from 26 ministers, experts, academics, and UN officials, including Annemarie Hou, Executive Director of the UN Office of Partnerships, and Patrick Paul Walsh, Vice President of Education and Director of the SDG Academy at the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN). Attendees also included sustainability officials and diplomats from countries such as Switzerland, Portugal, Ireland, Serbia, Paraguay, Bahrain, Uzbekistan, Qatar, Kingdom of Eswatini, and others. Members of the UAE delegation to the HLPF, officials from NYU's administrative and academic bodies, and 30 students from NYU, Stanford, and the University of Pennsylvania also participated. Global Ideas Sandbox The Ideation Lab helps build a global ideas sandbox and provides a creative open space. It highlighted the developmental role of comprehensive initiatives supporting global partnerships, particularly the UAE's GEEP, which serves as an incubator for scalable cross-border partnerships and an effective knowledge sharing platform. UAE Commitment to expanding partnerships Abdulla Nasser Lootah, Assistant Minister of Cabinet Affairs for Competitiveness and Experience Exchange and Chair of the National Committee on Sustainable Development Goals, stated that the UAE's knowledge-sharing approach is comprehensive, leveraging contributions across sectors locally and globally. The session drew participation from 26 ministers, experts, academics, and UN officials. This approach provides an environment for creating innovative ideas and impactful development solutions. 'In the UAE, we have successfully built a pioneering model for international cooperation based on knowledge exchange with countries and governments, and GEEP is a crucial part of this endeavour,' Lootah said. 'We are committed to involving various sectors, particularly academia, and cooperating with everyone in developing solutions to urgent global challenges, including developmental challenges, and expanding frameworks for sharing, transferring, and exchanging best government practices to help achieve sustainable development.' He added: 'The joint Global Ideation Lab between GEEP and NYU exemplifies the collaborative approach we adopt in the UAE to develop best practices that enhance readiness for present and future opportunities.' Challenge and solution model The Global Ideation Lab adopted a collaborative approach between GEEP and NYU, centred on posing challenges, linking academic insights with practical governance, and involving various stakeholders in designing partnership-based and scalable solutions. The session outcomes contributed to aligning knowledge inputs with policy, empowering stakeholders to participate in developing innovative solutions to urgent governance challenges, and accelerating progress towards the 2030 SDGs. UN High-Level Political Forum The HLPF on Sustainable Development is the UN's central platform for reviewing and advancing SDGs. Established in 2012, the forum plays a pivotal role in monitoring national and international progress on the 2030 Agenda. Participating delegations assess progress toward the SDGs, with this year's forum featuring in-depth reviews of five priority goals: SDG3 (ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages); SDG5 (achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls); SDG8 (promoting sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all); SDG14 (conserving and sustainably using the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development); and SDG17 (strengthening and revitalizing the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development).
