From an institutional perspective, Mohammed Ahmed Amin Al Awadi, Director-General of the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said the exhibition reflects the Chamber’s continued support for real estate as a central contributor to economic activity. Al Awadi stated that Sharjah’s property market continues to experience balanced expansion and varied investment prospects, helped by higher levels of investor confidence.
