The programme aims to reduce living pressures on low-income and distressed borrowers and help them regain financial stability.

It is carried out in cooperation with 19 banks and financial institutions in the UAE.

The exemptions cover humanitarian and medical cases, low-income borrowers, the deceased, low-income retirees, and senior citizens.
