The Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) conducted more than 21,000 inspection visits to establishments and commercial markets, in addition to 625 joint inspection campaigns with relevant government entities during the first half of 2026.
This came as LMRA board of directors, chaired by Labour and Legal Affairs Minister Yusuf Khalaf, held its periodic meeting via videoconference, in the presence of board members and LMRA chief executive officer Nibras Talib.
The board reviewed its agenda and updates on the implementation of national and strategic plans aimed at developing the work environment and strengthening regulatory and oversight measures, particularly the Government Programme and the National Labour Market Plan.
It also reviewed plans to develop policies and procedures in line with economic developments and the needs of various sectors, supporting the competitiveness of the national economy and its attractiveness to investment.
The LMRA CEO presented a report on the authority’s activities during the first half of 2026.
Mr Talib also highlighted ongoing efforts to re-engineer procedures and integrate digital systems with government databases.
He said electronic services accounted for 85 per cent of all services provided during the first half of 2026, reflecting increased digital adoption among customers.
