Sustained growth through pro-business initiatives 

Strategic efforts are underway to position Dubai among the world’s top five centres for business, logistics and finance by 2033. The D33 agenda has outlined 100 transformational projects to double Dubai’s economy and position it among the world’s top three cities by economic value. 

Programmes like Operation 300bn and the Dubai Industrial Strategy spearhead growth for manufacturing and industrial firms. Meanwhile, Dubai International Financial Centre, one of the world’s top financial hubs, offers a strong ecosystem for private equity and venture capital. 

SMEs and corporates can enjoy competitive advantages via 20+ business-first free zones – including Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority (JAFZA), Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) and Dubai World Central (DWC). These include 100% foreign ownership, lower tax policies, full reparations of profits, cost-effective set-up, renewal arrangements and simplified foreign recruitment processes.
