It also underlines the economic prosperity of Dubai and the confidence it enjoys among global investors, as well as the continuous growth that supports the business sector and helps attract investment. Approving the AED66.4 billion budget for 2020, the largest in Dubai’s history, emphasises the commitment of our wise leadership to taking care of the people as the cornerstone of sustainable development. It also highlights Dubai Government’s intent to focus on government excellence, creativity, innovation, and scientific research, in addition to building a state-of-the-art infrastructure that supports the Dubai Plan 2021 to make Dubai be the preferred place to live, work, and visit. It also will achieve the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to host the best world Expo in the exhibition’s history in Dubai in 2020,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA.

“At DEWA, and in line with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and the directives of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai, we will continue to implement innovative and pioneering projects to enhance an advanced infrastructure that provides the energy and water necessary for Dubai’s sustainable development and meets growing demand. This is based on a comprehensive vision that supports ambitious national targets and plans; with leading projects and initiatives to provide electricity and water services at the highest standards of availability, reliability, efficiency, and sustainability. This helps to consolidate Dubai's position as a smart, integrated, and connected city, as well as supporting the Emirate’s social, economic, and environmental development, and supporting the vision of the wise leadership to make Dubai the smartest and happiest city in the world,” added Al Tayer.
