The Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) and Dubai Courts have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to link electronic services related to the execution of judgments, orders and decisions issued by Dubai Courts through the Central Bank’s court cases management system.

The MoU was signed by Khaled Mohamed Balama, Governor of the Central Bank of the UAE, and Prof. Saif Ghanem Al Suwaidi, Director-General of Dubai Courts, at the Central Bank’s headquarters in Abu Dhabi, in the presence of senior officials from both parties.

The MoU is part of a joint effort to implement the Zero Government Bureaucracy Programme, aimed at improving service efficiency, quality and effectiveness, and executing the UAE’s digital strategy concerning services provided to individuals and businesses.

It also seeks to promote collaboration in various fields and establish effective mechanisms, including electronic connectivity, to expedite and activate the execution of judgments, orders, and decisions issued by Dubai Courts within the jurisdiction of the Central Bank, in compliance with the controls and procedural rules of the CBUAE’s court cases management system.

Khaled Mohamed Balama, Governor of the CBUAE, remarked: “The MoU reflects the central bank’s commitment to implementing the leadership vision of promoting digital transformation, enhancing mechanisms of integration and partnership, and sharing expertise with all federal and local authorities to provide pioneering services that meet global standards for individuals, businesses and partners.

This will enhance the country’s global competitiveness and support sustainable growth.” Prof. Saif Ghanem Al Suwaidi, Director-General of Dubai Courts, commented: “The Memorandum of Understanding strengthens our collaborative efforts with the Central Bank in the realm of electronic linkage.

“This initiative opens new horizons for enhancing efficiency, effectiveness, and speed in the execution of judgments, orders, and judicial decisions issued by Dubai Courts. It paves the way for a new phase of excellence in achieving electronic linkage objectives, aligning with our joint efforts to advance the smart transformation journey and build the world’s smartest and happiest city.

“This aligns with the insightful vision and wise directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

This step will bolster Dubai Courts’ efforts in ensuring swift and precise justice, delivering exceptional judicial services that guarantee customer satisfaction, and upholding the values of justice, independence, and transparency.”
