The Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ) has introduced a package of flexible economic measures to support businesses operating across its zones.
The initiative aims to help companies navigate current conditions, while strengthening business continuity and operational resilience.
The measures apply immediately across DIEZ’s three zones — Dubai Airport Freezone, Dubai Silicon Oasis and Dubai CommerCity.
They include rent flexibility, with the option to pay in monthly instalments, along with a full waiver of instalment-related fees, as well as the stabilisation of rental rates upon renewal.
Selected administrative fees, including late licence renewal penalties, will also be waived until conditions stabilise.
Additional support includes a three-month deferral of fees related to shareholder amendment and licence activity amendments, along with a waiver of fees associated with company restructuring and authorised capital amendments.
Officials say the move aligns with Dubai’s broader strategy to support the business community, enhance competitiveness and reinforce its position as a leading global investment hub.
