The UAE’s Ministry of Economy has signed a co-operation agreement with the Harvard University’s Growth Lab to develop a two-year joint work programme, the ministry said on Tuesday.

Under the scheme, Harvard University’s top academicians will help to build evidence-based economic analyses and new economic models in the Emirates. It aims to support economic policies in the UAE and strengthen the government’s economic capability.

The new partnership is in line with the government’s efforts to develop a new model for the formulation of future economic policies based on a proactive and flexible approach, said Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, UAE’s Minister of Economy.
