MoF Organises Workshop on Cabinet Resolutions Related to Outsourcing and Instalment of Debt Collection from Federal Entities
Workshop aims to enhance collection efficiency and support financial sustainability across federal entities In a step aimed at enhancing the efficiency of debt collection and supporting financial sustainability across federal entities, the Ministry of Finance (MoF) organised a specialised workshop in Dubai to discuss the provisions of Cabinet Resolution No. (14) and Cabinet Resolution No. (15) of 2025, concerning the outsourcing and instalment of the collection of debts owed to federal entities. The workshop was attended by directors of financial and legal affairs from various federal entities, as well as representatives from the Ministry's Government Revenue and Legal Affairs departments. The session comes as part of the Ministry's ongoing commitment to supporting federal entities in their capacity as creditors and parties responsible for the collection of dues, and to familiarise them with the mechanisms and procedures that allow for greater flexibility in implementing these resolutions. This, in turn, contributes to improving the efficiency of financial collections and raising levels of compliance, in line with Federal Decree-Law No. (15) of 2024. H.E. Saeed Rashid Al Yateem, Assistant Undersecretary for the Government Budget and Revenue Sector at the Ministry of Finance said: '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 featured a detailed explanation of the legal and regulatory frameworks related to the Cabinet Resolutions, in addition to discussions around proposed execution models for outsourcing and instalment. The session also addressed how to integrate these mechanisms into the financial systems and procedures of federal entities. Furthermore, it provided a platform to respond to participants' queries and facilitated knowledge exchange among the various concerned parties.

Emirates Publishers Association Expands Global Footprint Through Strategic Latin American Engagements in Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro
As part of a strategic vision to broaden avenues of international cooperation and enhance the UAE's presence on the global publishing map, the Emirates Publishers Association (EPA) continues to expand its international network through two key participations in major cultural events in Latin America. Beginning with the Buenos Aires International Book Fair and extending to a series of prestigious literary and professional events in Rio de Janeiro—UNESCO's World Book Capital for 2025—these engagements underscore the UAE's growing role in the global publishing sector. These strategic participations reflect the capacity of the UAE's publishing industry to build cultural bridges with the world. They also reaffirm the Association's commitment to opening new horizons for Emirati publishers to exchange expertise with their counterparts across continents and to forge promising connections with one of South America's most important publishing markets. Rio Reads… and the UAE Takes Part June 2025 marks an intensive programme of activities by the Association in Brazil. Its delegation is taking part in four of the country's most prominent publishing-related events in Rio de Janeiro, including the Rio International Book Fair (13–22 June)—the largest and most influential public literary event in Brazil and Latin America. The delegation is also participating in the 6th Professional Journey, the Rio International Publishers Summit, and the PublisHer Summit, which is dedicated to empowering women in publishing leadership. This participation takes place during a year when UNESCO has named Rio as the 'World's Book Capital', under the theme 'Rio de Janeiro Continues to Read.' Professional Platforms and Strategic Engagements During the 6th Professional Journey, organised by the Brazilian Book Chamber, the Emirates Publishers Association—represented by publisher Amira BuKdara, co-founder of Ghaf Publishing and Library and President of the Association's Board—will participate in an exclusive meeting. This platform offers accompanying Emirati publishers the opportunity to meet with buyers and professionals from the sector, as well as to schedule one-on-one meetings aimed at expanding the presence of Emirati publishing in Portuguese-speaking markets. The programme features a series of lectures and discussions on rights exchange and translation. The Association is visiting the Rio International Publishers Summit, organised by the Brazilian National Syndicate of Book Publishers, which gathers a distinguished group of publishing experts from around the world to address key industry topics such as publishing technologies, audiobooks, reading promotion, and women's empowerment. Additionally, the Association is attending the PublisHer Summit, held in collaboration with the Syndicate, which features panel discussions highlighting the success stories of women in the book industry and the challenges encountered by female leaders in publishing. The summit brings together influential women from across generations who are shaping the future of the sector. Buenos Aires: A Successful Visit The Association's presence in Rio follows a successful visit to the Buenos Aires International Book Fair 2025, held from 22 April to 12 May, where Riyadh was the Guest of Honour for this edition. During the visit, the Association's delegation held a series of strategic meetings with key stakeholders in Argentina's publishing and cultural sectors. These included talks with the Fair's Board of Directors, representatives of publishing associations, and officials from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Culture in Buenos Aires. The meetings explored avenues for enhancing bilateral cultural cooperation and increasing mutual participation in international fairs and initiatives. Enriching Cultural Exchange: Commenting on the Association's participation, Amira BuKdara, President of the EPA Board stated: 'Our engagement in Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires marks a significant step in our ongoing efforts to strengthen the global presence of Emirati literature. Participating in major international gatherings—both professional and public—opens up new opportunities for collaboration, translation, and co-publishing. It also allows us to share Arab stories with a broad and diverse audience. We firmly believe that cultural exchange plays a vital role in the book industry, and these events offer us the chance to be active contributors to the global publishing scene.' She added: 'Through this initiative, we aim to explore opportunities for translating Arabic content and bringing it to audiences who speak a different language but share our passion for books and knowledge.' New Horizons: These participations represent a strategic opportunity to strengthen cultural ties and pave the way for Emirati publishers to integrate into diverse new markets. They also reflect the Emirates Publishers Association's vision of establishing the UAE as a central hub in the global publishing industry, while promoting cultural and intellectual exchange between the Arab world and Latin America—celebrating diversity and amplifying the voice of the Emirati publisher across new frontiers.
