SMEs form the foundation of any modern economy. It not only boosts investments and employment but also sustains economic growth. Recently, UAE’s Finance Ministry unveiled a new law to support the growth of SMEs, thus boosting entrepreneurship in the country. The new law will require federal government entities to allocate at least 10% of their purchasing, servicing and consulting budgets to SMEs. Start-up and running costs for SMEs will also be reduced, and the firms will have increased access to finance from the Emirates Development Bank.

Given that SMEs account for 95% of all businesses in Dubai, a steady increase in the number of business licenses is a clear indication of growing interest among businesses to establish operations in UAE.
