The Arab Monetary Fund, in cooperation with the Ministry of Finance of the United Arab Emirates and the International Monetary Fund, organized the 10th Arab Public Finance Forum, which was held in Dubai on the eve of the World Governments Summit 2026.

This year's forum was held under the theme:
"A Decade of Fiscal Dialogue: Building Macroeconomic Resilience through Strengthening Fiscal Policies and Institutions."

The forum witnessed broad participation from Arab Ministers of Finance and Governors of Central Banks, alongside senior officials and experts from regional and international financial institutions.

In his address during the forum, H.E. Dr. Fahad M. Alturki, Director General Chairman of the Board of the Arab Monetary Fund, stressed the importance of the forum as a platform to assess the outcomes of a full decade of dialogue on fiscal policies, and as an opportunity to strengthen cooperation among Arab countries in light of global financial and economic developments.

H.E. stated:

"This forum represents an opportunity to assess the outcomes of a decade of dialogue on fiscal policies, as well as the role of the Arab Monetary Fund through its new strategy within a phase of transformation and change-positioning the Fund as a pillar for a strong Arab region and a leader in economic stability and sustainable growth. This is achieved through its role as a key contributor to the financial safety net, its efforts to promote economic stability, provide policy advice, build capacities, deliver value-added services, and strengthen its role as a trusted policy advisor and strategic partner supporting reform pathways, economic stability, and inclusive and sustainable growth in Arab countries."

The organisation of the 10th Arab Fiscal Forum reflects the Arab Monetary Fund's continued commitment to supporting its member countries in developing fiscal policies and enhancing regional and international coordination, contributing to financial stability and long-term growth.
