DUBAI: Dubai has announced a new 500 million dirhams ($136.14m) stimulus package to support the local economy, taking Dubai’s total stimulus measures this year to 6.8 billion dirhams, the crown prince of the emirate said on Twitter on Saturday.
“The private sector is a major partner in Dubai’s development process, and we have adopted a set of new exemptions for some fees and a cut in rents for some sectors, as well as an extension of the validity of a previous set of exemptions from fees,” said Hamdan Bin Mohammed Al-Maktoum.
The private sector is a major partner in Dubai’s continued progress. We have now approved a fresh set of fee exemptions and rent reductions for some sectors, as well as an extension on the validity of a previous set of fee exemptions.
