In fact, the cost of real estate activities will be reduced, and this will result in boosting the confidence of real estate developers and attracting local and foreign real estate investors."

"Under its progressive leadership, Dubai continues to dazzle the world with its futuristic plans, programs, and projects. Once the new economic stimulus package will be implemented, the real estate sector will witness more significant growth. These incentives will attract further foreign investment portfolios and support the establishment of new companies and businesses, which will enhance Dubai's competitiveness and position as the preferred global destination for real estate investments." added BinGhatti.

Muhammad BinGhatti concluded by stating: "The vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, ensures the continuous growth and maturity of the real estate sector. "
