He continued, "Dubai's economy is solid, diversified, and capable of overcoming all challenges," stressing that the next phase requires accelerating the pace of innovation and digital transformation and maximizing the added value of priority sectors. This supports the targets of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 and enhances the emirate's position among the top three economic cities in the world over the next decade."
