Market transparency has been further bolstered through strict controls on marketing activities; real estate advertising permits rose by 24%, totaling 26,044 permits—most of which are monitored via AI-based platforms to ensure the credibility of information. Service accessibility continues to expand, with the network of registration trustee offices growing by 14% and serving over 563,000 customers. For those seeking long-term wealth accumulation instruments, the combination of 5% economic growth and increasingly disciplined regulation ensures that Dubai remains a premier destination for international capital prioritizing security and efficiency.
