(UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 30th Oct, 2023) ABU DHABI, 30th October, 2023 (WAM) – Younis Haji Al Khoori, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance, chaired a meeting of experts from the Consultative Industry Group (CIG) Financial Reorganization Committee. The meeting included a number of specialists in bankruptcy and financial restructuring from global and local offices and companies.
He praised the role of experts in restructuring and insolvency in financially reorganising struggling companies and bankruptcy cases and discussed with the business community the use of financial reorganisation tools and resorting to courts to request financial restructuring or bankruptcy. He emphasised the importance of benefiting from the practical expertise possessed by experts and consultants.
Both Attorney Mohammed Al Suwaidi, Chairman of the Advisory Committee, and Dr Hussam Al Talhuni, Legal Advisor to the Minister of Finance – and Secretary of the Financial Restructuring Committee (FRC), presented interventions discussing the importance of involving experts from the private sector in developing financial reorganisation and restructuring services for struggling companies in the country, which will enhance investor confidence in investing in them. They also pointed to the importance of adopting the best rules, procedures, and practical practices in the field of insolvency to provide the best opportunities for the debtor from struggling companies and to protect creditors from the decrease in the value of the debtor’s money before paying the debts incurred by the companies.
The meeting featured a presentation by a specialist establishment, titled ‘The Duty of the Debtor’s board Members in Filing for Insolvency’, where Haroon Ahmed, a Restructuring Advisory Partner at Grant Thornton UAE and Director of Capiter Technologies Holding Limited, participated.
This was followed by another presentation by Bruce Matthews, Partner - Transaction Advisory, at KPMG in the Lower Gulf – United Arab Emirates and the Sultanate of Oman, about ‘Prevention is Better than Cure – A Global Perspective on the Intervention and Support Provided by Financial Institutions during Insolvency Procedures’.
The experts discussed the main points related to amendments in the Bankruptcy/Commercial Insolvency Law during the meeting. They concluded with a general discussion on ways to develop financial reorganisation services, especially regarding interpretation and training, and ways to disseminate financial reorganisation procedures and its benefits to the community.
