Arab Conference on electronic postal remittances highlights need for greater coordination among Arab countries
Dubai, June 6, 2007: A conference on electronic transfer through the postal network in Arab countries held in Damascus recently highlighted the need for greater coordination among Arab countries to tap the potential for growing the market in the region and rest of the world.
The conference was held under the auspices of the Syrian Communication Ministry and attended by officials from Universal Postal Union and French Post.
The main deliberations focused on how to upgrade money transfer through the IFS system that ensures secure and quick transfer. This is ideal for Arab countries that have a large number of temporary workers who need to regularly transfer money to other parts of the world. Participants discussed challenges in Arab countries, the digital divide between developing and developed countries and the need for liberalization and enhanced technology.
An Emirates Post delegation, consisting of Nasser Qaddoumi, operations manager, and Eman Saeed Salmeen from operations department, took part in the deliberations.
Nasser Qaddoumi of Emirates Post presented findings of a study on market requirements and stressed the need for speed and quality of ser4vice. The presence of strong competition from private players means that posts have to provide value addition in order to attract customers to their product.
