The Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ) has announced a new package of flexible economic measures aimed at helping companies navigate current challenges and maintain operational stability.

The initiative, which comes into effect immediately, targets businesses operating across DIEZ’s three key free zones: Dubai Airport Freezone, Dubai Silicon Oasis, and Dubai CommerCity. It forms part of a broader framework designed to strengthen business continuity and enhance operational flexibility.

This step aligns with Dubai’s wider economic vision of creating a stable and adaptable business environment, enabling companies to grow, adjust to market shifts, and contribute to sustainable economic development across the emirate.

Dr. Mohammed Al Zarooni, CEO of DIEZ, stated that the new measures underline the authority’s commitment to supporting businesses by offering practical and responsive solutions tailored to current conditions. He emphasized that such initiatives are aimed at helping companies remain resilient and confident amid evolving circumstances.

He also noted that DIEZ continues to develop an integrated economic ecosystem built on innovation and flexibility, reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global hub for investment and business. These efforts are in line with the goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, which focuses on unlocking future growth opportunities.

The newly introduced measures include a range of steps to ease operational pressures. Among them is the freezing of rental rates upon contract renewal, along with exemptions from certain administrative fees, including late penalties for license renewals, until conditions stabilize.

In addition, companies will now have the option to pay their rent in monthly installments without incurring any additional charges. This is expected to improve cash flow and support businesses in maintaining smooth operations during this period.

The package also offers greater flexibility for corporate restructuring. Businesses can defer fees related to shareholder amendments for up to three months, while fees for changing company structures and adjusting authorized capital have been waived.

Furthermore, companies are allowed to postpone fees associated with modifying license activities for three months, giving them more room to realign their operations with market demands and explore new opportunities.
