A number of Arab ministers of finance, governors of central banks, presidents of financial institutions, and senior officials and experts from regional and international financial organisations will attend the second Arab Fiscal Forum, to be held in Dubai on 12th February.

This year’s forum will be held under the theme "Revenue diversification: outlook and challenges."

Obaid bin Humaid Al Tayer, the UAE Minister of State for Financial Affairs, will deliver the keynote address at the forum.

The event will provide a platform to financial policymakers in the Arab region to discuss the latest challenges they face in diversifying state revenues in view of regional and international economic and financial issues, including the fall in world oil prices and the slow growth of world economy.
