ADFD: Strategic partner in advancing comprehensive Arab development
The Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD) has reinforced its position as one of the most prominent contributors in supporting economic and social progresses efforts in Arab countries, financing strategic projects that promote stability, drive growth and enhance quality of life, underscoring the UAE's steadfast commitment to its Arab neighbours. In recent years, the fund has broadened its engagement across the Arab region, translating its mission into tangible projects in vital sectors such as healthcare, energy and infrastructure, areas that are fundamental to the stability and future of communities. Each project represents a solid step forward in the path to comprehensive development. According to its 2024 Annual Report, ADFD's cumulative development financing reached AED216.5 billion, benefiting 107 countries across various continents. This total comprises AED157 billion in concessional loans, AED57.6 billion in government grants, and AED1.9 billion in direct contributions. In statements to the Emirates News Agency (WAM), the Fund said that in 2024 it managed six UAE government grants to Arab nations worth a combined AED810 million, benefiting Jordan, Morocco, Yemen and Mauritania. Jordan received more than AED452 million for three key projects: a national digital health transformation programme, budget support, and a reading skills development programme. Morocco was allocated AED129 million for the expansion of the Oued Akrach - Ain Aouda Road, Yemen received AED45 million for a solar power project in Socotra, and Mauritania was granted AED184 million for the Applied Sciences College. Among the standout initiatives is Jordan's recently launched 'Jordan Digital Health Centre', which aims to connect healthcare centres and create an integrated electronic medical records management system through a unified digital platform, to enhance Jordan's healthcare sector in delivering remote care services aligned with international standards. Phase one has already linked five hospitals in remote areas and three health centres across the kingdom, reflecting the depth of the UAE–Jordan cooperation in advancing development through digital innovation. The fund also oversees UAE grants under the Arab Gulf Programme for Development (AGFUND), with AED4.6 billion allocated each to Jordan and Morocco between 2012 and 2024 to support projects that directly improve citizens' lives. In the same period, Bahrain received an AED9.2 billion grant under the GCC Development Programme for major projects across various sectors. In 2025, ADFD has continued to implement high-impact investment projects across the Arab world. These include Egypt's 'Sofitel Legend Pyramids Giza' to support the tourism sector, an integrated tourism venture in Salalah, Oman, and the expansion of Bahrain International Airport. The fund has also advanced renewable energy in the Comoros through a solar power station, supported community stability in Somaliland with a housing project, and in June signed a financing agreement with the GCC Interconnection Authority for a strategic project to strengthen regional energy security. By championing strategic, high-value initiatives, the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development continues to act as a vital bridge for progress, reflecting the UAE's enduring commitment to spreading stability and prosperity across the Arab region and beyond.

Bain & Company releases brief on the future of financial planning
Middle East. Bain & Company has released a brief, The Future of Financial Planning Is Autonomous, which explores how generative AI and intelligent agents are transforming the way companies plan, forecast, and allocate capital. According to the brief, traditional budgeting cycles are too slow and rigid for today's volatile markets. AI-native agents embedded in enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are enabling companies to update forecasts continuously, adjust budgets automatically, and deliver real-time strategic insights to leadership teams. These systems mark the beginning of a new era of intelligent, autonomous finance. More than 25% of finance teams now use some form of machine learning in quarterly planning, with adoption rates for generative AI accelerating rapidly. Generative AI enables faster and more accurate forecasting by synthesizing signals from unstructured data and providing scenario-based insights. Agentic AI takes it a step further by autonomously managing end-to-end forecasting workflows. The brief also details how leading organizations like Microsoft are embedding AI agents into core FP&A functions, from forecasting and variance analysis to reconciliation and reporting, significantly reducing cycle times and boosting responsiveness. Bain outlines three clear paths to modernizing planning: streamlining existing processes, enhancing them with AI, or fully reinventing the operating model. Companies like Eaton and Hilti are profiled as early leaders who have embraced integrated, agile planning models, delivering both speed and strategic agility.

Saudi Arabia - The Roads General Authority (RGA) held a meeting with the National Center for Waste Management (MWAN) to explore ways to expand the use of demolition waste in asphalt mixes, as part of broader efforts to reduce environmental waste and improve resource efficiency. The RGA said this approach supports environmental sustainability and demonstrates its commitment to fostering innovation and adopting global best practices. It is aimed at creating a safer, more sustainable, and efficient logistics network that strengthens the Kingdom's position as a global logistics hub, stated the Authority.
