On this occasion, Jaber Mohammed Ghanem Al Suwaidi, Director-General of the Crown Prince Court of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Supreme Committee of the Non-performing Debt Relief Fund, said that this gesture is part of the UAE's wise leadership's keenness to ensure a decent life for all Emiratis and the highest possible standard of social stability.
Al Suwaidi pointed out that what gives this initiative a special importance is that the country has outlined an ambitious vision for the UAE's next 50 years of achievement as the country prepares to unite to mark its Golden Jubilee. "The UAE believes that human capital is the nation's true wealth and it works to invest the energy of every member of the nation to serve himself, his community and his country."
Al Suwaidi also expressed his thanks to all banks and institutions that contributed to this initiative, praising the exemption provided to the defaulters and their active participation in achieving the objectives of the fund.
For their part, the senior executives of the banks said that the noble move aimed at easing the burden of UAE nationals, consolidating the values of tolerance and cooperation and implementing charitable and humanitarian initiatives established by the country's leadership.
Since its establishment, the fund - in cooperation with national banks - has undertaken many important initiatives to address the issues and concerns of citizens and provide them with the means for a decent standard of life.
