More than 5,000 companies fuel growth as DIEZ strengthens Dubai’s investment appeal.
Dubai: The Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ) reported strong financial results for 2025 on Tuesday, with revenues rising 19.4 per cent and net profits increasing 17.8 per cent compared to the previous year, highlighting the strength of its integrated business model.
Announcing the results on X, Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of DIEZ, said the performance reflects the authority’s growing role in enhancing Dubai’s global competitiveness and supporting long-term economic growth.
“The results underscore the resilience of our operational model and our growing role in strengthening Dubai’s global competitiveness,” Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum said, adding that the authority will continue investing in its ecosystem to enhance future readiness and support sustainable expansion.
Established in 2021, Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ) brings together three of Dubai’s key economic zones — Dubai Airport Freezone, Dubai Silicon Oasis, and Dubai CommerCity — under a single platform designed to streamline services and strengthen investor appeal.
According to its website, the authority now hosts more than 5,000 registered companies across over 20 industries.
What DIEZ is doing amid the war
The latest growth comes as part of wider efforts to strengthen business resilience. Just last week, Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ) introduced a series of flexible economic measures to support companies operating within its zones.
The measures are aimed at easing operational pressures by stabilising rental rates during contract renewals and waiving selected administrative fees, such as late licence renewal penalties, until conditions improve. This is intended to give businesses greater flexibility in managing compliance requirements.
As part of the support package, DIEZ is also allowing companies to pay rent in monthly instalments, with a full waiver of instalment-related fees. According to DIEZ, this step is designed to improve liquidity and help ensure business continuity during the temporary regional situation.
The measures also include a three-month deferral of shareholder amendment fees, along with a waiver of charges related to company restructuring and authorised capital amendments. These steps are intended to help businesses restructure operations and adapt their business models with greater agility.
In addition, DIEZ has introduced a three-month deferral of fees for licence activity amendments, giving companies more flexibility to expand or realign their operations in response to market demands and emerging opportunities across sectors.
