H.H. Sheikh Maktoum reviews Dubai Economic Security Centre’s strategy

His Highness Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, First Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, has reviewed the Dubai Economic Security Centre's Strategy 2025-2030.

During the meeting, which took place at His Highness's office, His Highness listened to an explanation of the strategy, which took into account the vision of the leadership for the future of economic development in the Emirate of Dubai, in light of the goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, and what it requires in terms of creating measures that ensure sufficient guarantees to protect Dubai's gains, secure its development path, and enhance the stable economic environment in the emirate.

The Dubai Economic Security Centre Strategy 2025-2030 translates the centre's mission to ensure the stability and economic progress of Dubai by creating investment opportunities and economic forecasts, and protecting society from economic crimes, confirming Dubai's position as a global economic destination, both now and in the future.

The strategy includes a set of main objectives represented in enhancing a safe and stable economic environment, improving risk management systems, and establishing transparency and accountability.

The new strategy focuses on six key pillars, including predicting economic risks, fostering economic foresight and development, combating economic crimes, strengthening strategic partnerships, preparing for future challenges, and encouraging community engagement in economic security.

The strategy also outlines key indicators, including sustainability, economic growth, compliance monitoring, and efforts to combat corruption, money laundering, and terrorism financing. It further addresses measures to monitor economic crises and negative trends, emphasising both preventive actions and post-event oversight.

His Highness Sheikh Maktoum praised the efforts of the Dubai Economic Security Centre and the tasks it undertakes to address negative economic issues, and the services it provides that contribute to securing Dubai's economy.

He said, "Dubai has succeeded over many years in building a global reputation as a premier destination for trade and business, thanks to its stable environment and its continuous efforts to combat financial crimes. Our vision is clear and our goal does not change in maintaining Dubai's leadership as a global centre for opportunities and innovation that ensures the highest standards of economic security. Dubai will continue to inspire the world with its flexibility, ambition and tireless efforts to consolidate the trust of its partners in the solutions and guarantees it provides that enable them to grow and develop."

The Economic Security Centre plays a pivotal role in raising economic awareness, offering specialised studies, recommendations, and training programmes. It collaborates with regional and international organisations and participates in global financial and economic councils.

The Centre also combats harmful economic activities, including corruption, fraud, money laundering, and terrorism financing, ensuring legal proceedings are carried out in coordination with the judiciary to safeguard Dubai’s economic stability.
