The Honorable The Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, examined the outcomes of the Emiratization policy in the UAE's corporate sector.
Following the introduction of His Highness, 70 thousand citizens have joined the private sector in the previous two and a half years, making it the first time in the nation's history that more than 100,000 residents are employed in this capacity. May God protect UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who has generously donated 24 billion dirhams to the "Nafis" initiative and introduced numerous laws encouraging and promoting Emiratization in the business sector.
Results of the localization plan
The Honorable Yesterday, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum posted on his X platform account, saying, "I was informed on the outcomes of the Emiratization plan in the UAE's private sector today. For the first time in the nation's history, over 100,000 citizens are employed in the private sector; of these, 70,000 joined in the last 2.5 years following the introduction of the (Nafs) program by my brother, the head of state, with generous funding totaling 24 billion dirhams, as well as the introduction of numerous legislations that encourage and support emiratization in the private sector and accelerate economic growth in our nation."
Adopting a new policy in the Council of Ministers
"We have adopted a new policy in the Council of Ministers to give preference to those with three years of experience from the private sector for employment in the government sector," His Highness continued.
The monarch stated that a new policy has been implemented in the Council of Ministers, prioritizing employment in the government sector for individuals with a minimum of three years of experience in the private sector.
The individual of royal rank expressed gratitude and recognition to the team at (Nafis) and the Ministry of human resources and Emiratisation. This team is currently being supervised by my sibling, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, in relation to this significant national matter.
A new job for citizens
The ruler emphasized the collaboration and unity between our private and government sectors. The workforce, consisting of both citizens and non-citizens, benefits from numerous opportunities within our national economy. Our objective is to create 100,000 new job positions for citizens in the next three years. We aspire for our country, youth, and economy to flourish and improve.
