Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ) has introduced a package of measures aimed at supporting businesses operating across its free zones, as part of broader efforts to maintain economic activity and ease operational pressure.
The initiative applies to companies in major zones including Dubai Airport Freezone (DAFZ), Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO), and Dubai CommerCity.
Measures focus on cost relief and flexibility
The newly announced support package includes a range of financial and operational incentives designed to improve liquidity and business continuity.
Key measures include:
- Flexible rental payment options, including monthly instalments
- Waivers on certain administrative and service fees
- Deferred payment options for selected charges
- Stable rental rates upon contract renewal
These steps are intended to reduce immediate financial pressure on companies while maintaining operational stability.
Part of a broader economic support strategy
The move follows Dubai’s wider economic support programme, which includes a AED 1 billion package introduced to strengthen business resilience amid ongoing regional challenges.
The measures are being implemented for a limited period, with the goal of enhancing flexibility and supporting both businesses and the broader economic ecosystem.
Supporting business continuity and investment
Authorities said the initiative is designed to ensure companies can continue operating efficiently while adapting to current market conditions.
Free zones play a key role in Dubai’s economy, offering benefits such as full foreign ownership, tax advantages, and streamlined business setup processes.
By introducing additional flexibility, Dubai aims to reinforce its position as a competitive global business hub and maintwain investor confidence.
