The Dubai Economic Agenda 'D33' will be implemented immediately, as directed by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council. Teams across Dubai's government organizations would work closely with the business sector to achieve the Agenda's numerous aims during the next ten years.
