(MENAFN- The Peninsula) The Qatar Institute for Public Finance (QIPF), in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance (MoF), and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), organised a three days workshop entitled ‘Value-for-money in government'; the fourth workshop of its kind since the launch of the Institute in December 2015.
The event, which started yesterday and hosted by the Qatar Finance and Business Academy (QFBA), comes in the context of the three organisations' reaffirmation of their commitment to developing sustainable and efficient public finance strategies through the presentation of research and studies dedicated to the MENA region, conducted by international experts in the field.
On this occasion, Dr Abdulaziz Al Horr, CEO of QFBA, said, 'This workshop will be a unique addition to the ongoing efforts to achieve a qualitative leap forward in the efficient and effective use of funds in the government sector in Qatar and the region. During the meeting, best practices in the field of public financial management will be presented, through specialised papers addressing specific financial issues in the region that aim to empower finance officials in the government sector to follow a rationalisation strategy in setting costs and cutting spending within the framework of public finance.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) enables governments to understand and address economic, social and environmental issues, opportunities and challenges. In turn, the QIPF continues to collaborate with the MoF as a central institution responsible for Qatar's economy and public finance, through its market research to analyse gaps in public sector finance, finding solutions, and implementing the outcome. QFBA was established by the Qatar Financial Center (QFC) to create a Qatar-based learning and development organization for delivering pragmatic and innovative financial services education.
