He was speaking during a meeting with the Board of Directors of Dubai Chambers after the major restructuring where he formed three entities – Dubai Chamber of Commerce, Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy and Dubai Chamber of International Trade.

Sheikh Mohammed recently approved the new Board of Directors of Dubai Chambers as part of efforts to enhance their contributions to Dubai’s economy, and to catalyse Dubai’s economic transformation and further reinforce the city’s rise as a global business hub.

”Establishing a solid and prosperous economy is at the center of our priorities,” Shiekh Mohammed added.

“The global economy has undergone a tremendous change.. Dubai has developed and made great leaps.. Today we are the global capital of economy,” he further added. “Today, we are thinking about the next fifty years, and we are also thinking for future generations. This is a duty for all of us.”

The Board will work to create a comprehensive unified strategy for Dubai Chambers, set key priorities and objectives, propose major initiatives to advance Dubai’s strategic economic development, and ensure streamlined coordination and integration between the three chambers, the WAM reported.
