The UAE Cabinet has restructured the board of directors of the Emirates Development Bank (EDB) 

as part of its plan to modernise work mechanisms in the federal government.

 

The eight-member board will be chaired by Obaid bin Humaid Al Tayer, Minister of State for Financial Affairs, and will serve a three-year term, said a statement from EDB.

 

The Emirati bank was established to contribute to the economic and social development of the UAE as a key partner in providing financial services for development.

 

The bank specialises in facilitating real estate credit allocated for the construction, maintenance and development of buildings prepared for private housing, financing projects and agricultural crafts and activities, financing housing and urban projects on behalf of the government as well as providing support to Emirati entrepreneurs to finance their projects.-TradeArabia News Service
