The Ministry of Finance (MoF) has reported outstanding results in customer happiness and service quality for the first half of this year. Performance indicators from the ministry’s call centre revealed a substantial rise, with customer happiness reaching 96 percent and the completion of customer requirements also at 96 percent, both exceeding the target of 90 percent.

Younis Haji Al Khoori, Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, stressed that such indicators demonstrate the Ministry's ongoing efforts to ensure customer happiness and strengthen its commitment to delivering exceptional support.

He emphasised that MoF’s call centre and customer happiness channels played a significant role in delivering rapid and effective services, resolving enquiries efficiently, and offering innovative solutions through direct communication channels.

He added, "The exceptional results achieved by the centre can be attributed to the team's high efficiency, continuous training on the latest technologies, and investment in advanced technological infrastructure. The centre's use of smart systems to analyse data and forecast customer needs has significantly enhanced service quality. The Ministry will continue to upgrade the performance of the call centre and customer happiness channels by launching new digital channels powered by artificial intelligence to provide a unique and integrated customer experience."

Key achievements of MoF’s call centre and customer happiness channels in the first half of this year include: 87.9 percent of calls were answered within 20 seconds, while the percentage of unanswered calls did not exceed 2 percent.

The average duration of incoming calls was 4 minutes and 30 seconds, with zero waiting time for customers, as responses were provided immediately.
