The portfolio was announced by the Department of Finance (DOF) of the Government of Dubai with the aim of inspiring new collaborations between the two sectors and continued economic development. 

The new projects will cover ten economic sectors over a three-year period from 2024 to 2026.

“Launching an abundant, strong portfolio of projects is a fundamental pillar of the Government’s PPP strategy, and we are ready to benefit from the success achieved in the previous stages of developing the PPP ecosystem and continue to innovate in financing vital government projects,” he added.
