Dubai’s newly approved budget for 2025-2027, led by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, sets a powerful precedent for financial sustainability and ambitious development. With projected revenues reaching AED 302 billion and expenditures capped at AED 272 billion, this three-year plan represents the largest budget in the emirate’s history and positions Dubai at the forefront of global economic hubs.

The government anticipates a 21% operating surplus, reflecting disciplined financial policies and a forward-looking approach designed to enhance competitiveness while ensuring long-term stability. A key pillar of this plan is the AED 40 billion portfolio for public-private partnerships, which aims to fuel sustainable growth by aligning government and private sector initiatives for mutual value.
