The Dubai Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, has organised a roundtable discussion aimed at outlining the primary objectives of the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33) for the Business Councils under the Dubai Chamber’s umbrella.
During the session, the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism delivered an in-depth presentation on the goals of the D33 agenda, which seeks to double the size of Dubai’s economy by 2033 and establish the city as one of the top three global economic hubs.
The presentation also emphasised how efforts to achieve these goals enhance Dubai’s business-friendly environment and examined strategies to increase the private sector’s involvement, thereby boosting the advantages for businesses.
Maha Al Gargawi, Vice President of Business Advocacy at Dubai Chambers, remarked, “The Dubai Economic Agenda (D33) offers a detailed plan for sustainable growth and improving the competitiveness of the national economy, with the private sector playing a crucial role in meeting its ambitious targets. Business Councils act as essential links to international markets and contribute significantly to fostering trade and investment connections between Dubai and countries worldwide.”
The Business Councils affiliated with the Dubai Chamber of Commerce represent the interests of companies and investors from specific markets operating in Dubai. In partnership with the chamber, they focus on strengthening bilateral trade and investment between Dubai-based businesses and those in the markets they represent, with the goal of cultivating strong economic partnerships.
