Its work will be supported institutionally and administratively by the General Secretariat of the Executive Council, in coordination with relevant local and federal authorities. This ensures full alignment with both Ajman's and the UAE's overarching economic policies. Enhancing Ajman's investment climate This initiative embodies the Ajman government's integrated vision to enhance its investment climate. It is expected to stimulate the flow of high-value projects, expand the emirate's economic base, and reinforce Ajman's status as an increasingly attractive destination for global investors.
