A key meeting between the Ajman Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the UAE Ministry of Economy (MoE) has laid the groundwork for improved export services, with a focus on simplifying the process for issuing certificates of origin. The session took place at the Thara Centre for Entrepreneurship and is part of the national “Zero Government Bureaucracy” initiative aimed at optimizing government services.

Badriya Yousef Al Maidor, Assistant Undersecretary for Support Services at the Ministry of Economy. Other senior officials present included Faisal Al Khouri, Director of Strategy and Future Department, and Fatima Al Awadhi, Director of IT at Ajman Chamber.
The meeting spotlighted the need to modernize trade-related services and adopt smarter digital solutions that could support UAE-based exporters in streamlining documentation and procedures. According to Al Janahi, easing these processes will empower businesses to compete more effectively in both regional and international markets.
The discussions highlighted several key areas of focus:
- Improving inter-agency cooperation to enable better information sharing and reduce redundant steps in the certification process
