I chaired a meeting of The Executive Council of Dubai during the UAE Government Annual Meetings, where we approved new strategic projects worth more than AED 11 billion, including a comprehensive plan to enhance community services and facilities by 2040, prioritising residential areas for Emirati citizens. We also approved a project to extend Dubai Metro’s Route 2020 to Al Maktoum International Airport City, with services scheduled to commence operations in 2031. On the sidelines of the meeting, we approved the findings of a study on the future of Dubai’s real estate market, highlighting the sector’s strength and resilience and supporting its continued development in partnership with the private sector. We further directed efforts to diversify the investment policy for funds held for minors and endowments, strengthen portfolio management, diversify assets, optimise returns and ensure long-term sustainability. Guided by Mohammed bin Rashid’s vision, we remain committed to improving quality of life in Dubai and strengthening its global competitiveness. We measure success by the tangible impact of our initiatives on people’s everyday lives and the opportunities they create for future generations.
