Legislators have unanimously approved a proposed amendment to the 2006 Labour Market Regulatory Law that mandates the inclusion of a maximum cap on work permits, as part of the national labour market plan.
Parliament’s services committee chairwoman MP Jalila Al Sayed explained that the amendment aims to curb over-reliance on foreign labour by tightening controls over the issuance of permits by the Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) .
