Regional and International Partnerships and Agreements

Consolidating Financial and Economic Ties

The Ministry of Finance (MoF) has established strong partnerships with regional and international ministries and organisations to elevate the UAE’s global economic position, support sustainable development, and enhance international competitiveness. These strategic alliances span across GCC cooperation, Gulf Economic Integration, the Gulf Common Market, and various international investment and financial initiatives with leading global institutions.

Strengthening the UAE’s Financial, Economic and Commercial Ties

The MoF is committed to building strategic international partnerships to strengthen the UAE’s financial, economic, and commercial ties with international and regional organisations, development funds, and economically advanced countries with knowledge-driven expertise.
The International Financial Relations and Organisations Department, reporting to the Assistant Undersecretary for the International Financial Relations Sector, is responsible for:

  • Coordinating the UAE’s participation in joint economic commissions
  • Developing proposals and mechanisms to promote international financial relations
  • Monitoring the implementation of recommendations and agreements
  • Drafting and managing international memoranda of understanding (MoUs) to bolster the UAE’s financial standing
  • Strengthening financial and economic cooperation with countries, financial institutions, organisations, and development funds
  • Coordinating international aid programmes and collecting data on aid and donations granted by the UAE, in collaboration with relevant authorities
  • Supporting the UAE’s global competitiveness through financial diplomacy and engagement
Objectives of Partnerships
Foster an attractive investment climate and remove barriers to economic and investment activity in both public and private sectors
Promote the UAE as a leading global destination for investment
