Shaping a Supportive Business Environment

Further bolstering the business environment, the government prioritised the digitalization of public services, improving accessibility and efficiency for both businesses and citizens. Additionally, the Office for the Development of the Economy (ODA) played a vital role in offering businesses vital training, counselling, and access to funding.

Building on Momentum in 2024

Looking ahead, Alaiba expressed unwavering optimism and determination. "We are looking to the future with confidence," he declared.
