MoF Presents its
Latest Electronic
Services at GITEX
The Ministry of Finance (MoF)
presented its latest electronic
services through its participation
in GITEX Technology Week
2012 at the Dubai International
Convention and Exhibition Centre.
MoF’s annual participation in
the exhibition falls within its
commitment to keep up with the
best technologies and international
practices in the field of e-services.
During a press conference held
at GITEX 2012, HH Sheikh
Hamdan Bin Mohammed bin
Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown
Prince of Dubai, launched the
Government Financial Statistics
(GFS) System during his visit to
the UAE Federal e-Government
stand. Amongst the many new
e-Services that were released, the
Ministry of Finance (MoF) also
launched a complaints/suggestions
portal relating specifically to the
Gulf Common Market and the
customs union (GCC Takamul),
in addition to a number of new
e-services for its partners and
members of the community
such as those pertaining to the
e-Dirham-G2 (second generation)
system.
A conference was held during
GITEX that attended by HE
Saeed Rashid Al Yateem, Executive
Director of Revenue and Budget,
HE Khalid Ali Al Bustani, Assistant
Undersecretary of International
Financial Relations Sector at MoF,
HE Mariam Al Amiri, Assistant
Undersecretary for the Management
of Financial Resources.
Furthermore, the conference
reviewed the GCC Takamul System
and linked it with the concerned
authorities in the UAE, where it
enables the Ministry to conduct
integrated and specialized statistics
at the level of ministries and
federal agencies, as well as at local
authorities in each emirate. The
GFS system reports on the overall
size of the federal government
operations and federal budgets of
the UAE government across all
accounts items and provisions of
implementing the consolidated
budget for the fiscal year in both its
revenues and expenses. The system
also helps in determining the size of
the contribution of the public sector
in the national economy.
The GCC Takamul System is the
first e-project of its sort in the
Gulf region. It seeks to overcome
the obstacles faced by citizens of
the UAE and GCC in addition
to Gulf multinational companies
with regards to the Gulf Common
Market. It also features a
documenting system of all actions
taken to deal with complaints and
the suggestions made, enabling
the issuance of integrated and
specialized statistics for all kinds of
transactions that are offered by the
public to identify areas that require
development and improvement
in the quality of its services both
within the country or abroad.
