Dubai brought together top economic leaders and international experts at the Dubai Economic Leaders Majlis to shape strategies that will reinforce the emirate’s global position in finance, tourism, investment, and trade.
Held as part of the Mohammed bin Rashid Leadership Forum, the Majlis was chaired by Helal Saeed Al Marri, Director General of Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism. The gathering focused on aligning priorities for Dubai’s next phase of growth while advancing the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
Al Marri highlighted the forum’s role as a platform for transforming leadership theory into practical strategies rooted in ambition, excellence, and shared responsibility. He noted that these principles are vital to driving Dubai’s development journey.

They credited this to strong financial infrastructure, forward-looking regulations, and an environment that attracts international investment.
Speakers also underlined the importance of diversifying economic sectors, fostering innovation, and attracting strategic projects and global talent. These efforts align with the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, which aims to double the size of Dubai’s economy by 2033 and position it among the world’s top three economic cities.
The Majlis concluded with an interactive leadership workshop hosted in collaboration with Bloomberg, titled How Do Economists Think?. The session encouraged participants to anticipate geopolitical and economic challenges while developing agile strategies that support Dubai’s ambition to sustain long-term growth and global competitiveness.
