Participants also discussed ways to enhance road traffic safety in Dubai.
Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers, said: “Promoting and facilitating dialogue between representatives of the private sector and key government entities through our sector-specific business groups is one of the most important ways in which we support the business community, as this enables companies to share any feedback they may have on legislation with the relevant authorities.
“Meetings of this nature form an essential part of the strategic partnership between Dubai’s public and private sectors and contribute to strengthening the emirate’s favourable business environment and boosting competitiveness.”
During the meeting, participants explored how to further advance efforts to serve the business community in the emirate, including the streamlining of law enforcement standards and requirements within the region’s car rental sector.
Business groups play a central role in addressing policy matters, enhancing the competitiveness of specific sectors, and increasing their contribution to the economy.
The Chamber of Commerce has successfully established more than 100 business groups to represent the diverse business sectors and industries within the emirate’s economy.
