Meraas, Dubai Holding head replaced

DUBAI, November 7, 2019

In a major move, HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, has appointed Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum to temporarily oversee Dubai Holding and Meraas replacing Abdulla Al Habbai.
 
Established in 2004, Dubai Holding develops and manages an extensive portfolio of companies focused on investments, financial services, real estate, specialised business parks, telecommunications and hospitality. 
 
The Group's operations and investments span across 10 countries in the region and around the world. The subsidiary companies, including Jumeirah Group, Tecom Group, Dubai Properties, Dubai Asset Management, Arab Media Group, and Dubai Retail employ around 20,000 employees.
 
One of Dubai’s most successful conglomerates, Meraas aims to enhance the emirate’s cityscape with a human-centric approach to developing assets in the real estate, tourism, hospitality, F&B, retail, leisure and entertainment, technology, maritime, and healthcare sectors. Meraas has a mission of building a creative urban culture where thriving communities can take root.
 
The move is part of a fresh strategy to explore new expansion prospects for both groups, and identify further opportunities to maximise growth by leveraging their diverse assets and investment portfolios, said a statement from Dubai Holding.
 
The announcement comes even as Dubai Holding is set to play an important role in the staging of Expo 2020 Dubai through its hospitality and real estate offerings, which is set to further boost the group’s performance, it stated. 
 
Sheikh Ahmed's appointment is aimed at further consolidating the strong brand profile and leading position of the two groups both in the Arab world and globally. The move is also aligned with Dubai’s evolving growth strategy that seeks to constantly create new value through innovation.
 
It has played an instrumental role in Dubai’s diversification programme across multiple industries, and is at the frontlines of Dubai’s strategy to build a sustainable, innovation-driven economy in line with the UAE Government’s Vision 2021.
 
Dubai Holding said it foresees strong growth over the next five years and continued financial success, driven by recurring revenue assets and new projects.-TradeArabia News Service
