The inflation rate in the UAE has reached a threshold level and the government must control the amount of spending that is going on in order to check it, said Mohsin S. Khan, Director of IMF's Middle East and Central Asia Department, a top official of the International Monetary Fund.

 

Speaking to the Gulf News, the official stressed "Once the rate of inflation has reached the five-to-six per cent level, countries have to be very cautious."
