Dubai Customs, Dubai Chambers Collaborate For Economic Agenda Goals

Dubai Customs recently hosted a high-level delegation from Dubai Chambers to discuss collaborative efforts aimed at achieving the Dubai Economic Agenda. This agenda, directed by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, aims to double Dubai's economic size in the next decade and position it among the top three global economic cities by creating an ideal investment environment that strengthens Dubai's economic stability.

The meeting focused on the strategic priorities of Dubai Chambers, which include enhancing the business environment to stimulate growth in Dubai. They aim to attract global companies and investments, support local businesses in expanding into promising international markets, and develop Dubai's digital economy. The ambitious plans of the three chambers under Dubai Chambers' umbrella—Dubai Chamber of Commerce, Dubai International Chamber, and Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy—were also discussed.

Dr. Abdulla Mohammed Busenad, Director-General of Dubai Customs, expressed his satisfaction with the meeting. He emphasised the importance of collaborative efforts to enhance sustainable economic development following the directives of the Dubai government.

Additionally, discussions covered joint initiatives between Dubai Customs and Dubai Chambers to develop new services. These initiatives aim to reinforce Dubai's regional and global economic and trade standing and support the city's ease of doing business ranking. Efforts are focused on empowering the new generation of Dubai traders across various key sectors and supporting their global business expansion in line with the Dubai Economic Agenda.

The delegation was received by Dr. Abdulla Mohammed Busenad along with Jumaa Al Ghaith, Advisor to the Director General, and other executive directors and department heads of the organisation.
