The wise leadership and the institutional system for crisis management in the country have demonstrated the high readiness and effectiveness of crisis management plans, the modernity and accuracy of the national risk register, its mechanisms, procedures, and plans for dealing with its scenarios. and disasters, the desired goals of wise leadership, as it promoted the integrated event management system and the official spokesperson as a pillar for continuous and direct communication with the public as part of the crisis management media cell.

Being aware of the size of the preparations to reach the readiness for what we have seen is important, and for my experience and my work as a member of the national task forces concerned with coordinating and preparing programs to qualify and develop the readiness of the task forces concerned with national security plans, including but not limited to:Crisis Communication and Media Teams, the Office of Victims Affairs (which, thank God, did not require activation), the command and control system, evacuation plans and other honorable national efforts, and perhaps its beginnings go back to the Supreme Security Committee for Activities in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, chaired by His Highness Sheikh Khalid bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and the membership of Major General Obaid Al-Hairy Al-Ketbi and Major General Dr. Ahmed Nasser Al-Raisi, whose silver leader in its early days was Major General Obaid Al Shamsi (who currently holds the position of Vice-President of the National Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Management Authority), and before that he led the authority operationally as Director General, Where the work of the UAE model of the Joint Operational Command (Joint Operation Command JOC) was an experience and advanced preparation for how to implement the golden leader system in crises and disasters, which is one of the most effective and efficient global systems.In crises and disasters, it is concerned with the golden leader and includes the most important members of the teams and the pillars of his success.

The launch of the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, in coordination with the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority, the national program, to ensure business continuity in the private sector, in light of the preventive measures and precautionary measures taken at the state level, within the system of federal and local government work, to confront the pandemic and limit its spread;

A distinguished effort, and we hope, after watching the announcement of the formation of the National Committee for the Management and Governance of the Recovery Phase from the “Covid-19” pandemic, that it will publish its reports, plans and the most important improvement opportunities that it will address, and that it will soon include representatives from the banking sector.

One of the committee’s most important functions is to determine the financial and economic factors needed to support the recovery phase. Without the central bank’s participation in the governance of the banking sector’s contributions, we will not see that achieved. Many banks have published impressive numbers, but are they real numbers that reflect their contributions to addressing economic challenges and the accompanying global economic slowdown?

We hope so, although it is difficult for us to confirm it, as many individuals and companies have complained about the intransigence of banks in providing real facilities during the pandemic.

The complex challenges that we are monitoring today include global inflation and an economic slowdown coupled with the high prices of basic commodities, foodstuffs and fuel. Do we expect a benchmark comparison with fuel prices in the region, the impact of inflation on families and individuals, and an interactive measurement of the welfare or poverty line, accompanied by facilities More than flexible, to postpone installments and pay off debts without additional burdens?

Do we aspire to postpone the collection of corporate profits tax from three to five years?

Raising taxes in parallel with global inflation will pose a huge economic challenge.

We also hope for greater flexibility and acceptance from some parties in receiving complaints, criticisms and suggestions. The goal is not only criticism but treatment, as many of their leaders talked about a radical review of service fees after the tax was applied, and we did not see anything of their talk see the light!

The only entity that we can announce that has achieved this is the Department of Economic Development in Abu Dhabi, and we have elaborated on that in a previous article entitled “A 1,000 dirhams license.”

Will we ever see a fee scheduling plan keep pace with tax income?

Do not expect to collect an alternative fee for taxes in parallel with the collection of taxes and in conjunction with unprecedented global inflation!
