UAE Climbs to 16th Globally in Government Support Index with Record Fiscal Performance
The United Arab Emirates has surged to 16th place in the 2025 Government Support Index, leaping 27 spots from 43rd last year, according to the International Institute for Management Development's (IMD) World Competitiveness Yearbook. The rise underscores the UAE's efficient fiscal policies and effective public spending. The Government Support Index measures the value of government support as a share of GDP and assesses how well public financial resources are managed to stimulate economic growth. The Ministry of Finance attributed the improvement to close coordination between federal and local finance departments, advanced financial analysis tools, and optimised resource allocation. The Ministry emphasised that the UAE's progress reflects growing international trust in its public financial governance and highlights its commitment to sustainability, fiscal transparency, and evidence-based decision-making. Strengthening financial data quality and disclosure remains a key priority to support sound policy formulation and economic stability. In addition to its jump in the Government Support Index, the UAE ranked among the world's top ten in several competitiveness indicators. The country secured first globally in venture capital and personal income tax collection as a share of GDP, second in corporate profit tax rates, and third in government budget surplus. It also ranked highly in government expenditure efficiency and real growth of public consumption. Looking ahead, the Ministry of Finance aims to enter the top ten of the Government Support Index by 2026, leveraging results-driven public spending and sustainable fiscal practices to strengthen the UAE's global economic position and resilience.

Tax facilities offer ‘golden opportunity' to settle disputes without extra costs: Egypt's ETA chief
Egypt - Rasha Abdel Aal, Head of the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA), affirmed that the tax facilities introduced under Law No. 5 of 2025 present a golden opportunity for taxpayers to resolve outstanding tax disputes, especially for those maintaining regular books and accounts. She noted that one of the most significant incentives is that taxpayers who have submitted a settlement request supported by regular accounts, and pay the full amount due within no more than three months from the request date, will be granted a full exemption from late payment fines and any additional taxes related to that dispute. Abdel Aal stressed that these measures reflect the Ministry of Finance and the ETA's commitment to supporting the tax community and easing the burden on compliant taxpayers. Those meeting the criteria benefit from special concessions in dispute settlement, provided payment is made within the prescribed deadline. 'We urge all taxpayers who have submitted settlement requests and keep regular accounts to expedite payment of their dues before the end of the three-month period from the submission date. This will ensure their tax status is resolved smoothly and they receive the full exemption from late payment fines and additional taxes,' she said. © 2025 Daily News Egypt.
