The programme forms part of the Ministry's ongoing efforts to empower young Emirati talents and prepare them to lead the future of the nation's financial sector.

Held from 17 to 20 November as part of the initiative’s second phase, the programme featured a series of field visits to the Departments of Finance in both the Abu Dhabi and Dubai governments, as well as to the World Bank Group and the International Finance Corporation (IFC).

The week-long programme offered participants direct exposure to advanced financial and administrative practices adopted locally and internationally. It further enhanced their understanding of strategic financial planning and effective public resource management, equipping them with deeper insights into global best practices and their application within the UAE's financial ecosystem.

Younis Haji AlKhoori, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance, said: “The Leaders of Finance field visits programme reaffirms the Ministry’s commitment to developing a new generation of financial leaders who can bridge theory and practice.”
