Younis Haji Al Khoori, Under-Secretary of MoF stated that the Ministry seeks to cooperate with various ministries and federal entities to ensure the completion of uploading accurate national ID numbers in the federal financial system.

Having the correct data for all government employees in ministries and federal entities will facilitate transactions, and follow up on their requests in a fast and accurate manner.
