Dubai Chamber Of Commerce Initiatives Enhance Private Sector Competitiveness In Dubai

The Dubai Chamber of Commerce recently held its fourth quarterly meeting for Business Groups and Councils in 2025. This session, under the Dubai Chambers umbrella, reviewed key initiatives to bolster the private sector's competitiveness both locally and globally. Participants received updates on ongoing efforts to enhance Dubai's business environment, fostering growth and expansion for companies within the emirate.

During the first nine months of 2025, the chamber collaborated with Business Groups to review 42 laws and draft laws. This collaboration resulted in a 64% adoption rate of private-sector recommendations, a notable increase from last year's 49% during the same period. The chamber also conducted 124 meetings with these groups, marking a 41% year-on-year rise.

Maha Al Gargawi, Vice President of Business Advocacy at Dubai Chambers, emphasised the importance of Business Groups and Councils in enhancing Dubai’s investment appeal. She stated, "We remain committed to ensuring an environment that supports growth and encourages collaboration and partnerships, reinforcing Dubai’s position as a leading destination for business expansion and opportunities."

The meeting also highlighted this year's performance trends across major economic sectors. It outlined promising opportunities expected in the coming period. These discussions focused on advancing the interests of the business community, which is a core priority for the chamber.

Hadi Badri, CEO of the Dubai Economic Development Corporation, shared insights during a panel session about the strategic objectives of the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33). The discussions aimed at empowering the private sector by enabling Business Groups to contribute significantly to policy advocacy. This involvement helps shape regulatory frameworks and improve business processes.

The gathering included members from various Business Groups and Councils under the chamber’s umbrella. These entities represent a wide range of private sector companies within Dubai’s business community. Business Groups provide a collective voice for key economic sectors, while Business Councils advocate for companies and investors from specific countries.

The chamber continues to support sustainable economic growth by creating opportunities that benefit both local businesses and international investors. This commitment ensures that Dubai remains an attractive destination for business expansion.
