Over 152,000 Emiratis now employed in private sector
The number of Emiratis working in the private sector has now crossed 152,000 — employed across more than 29,000 companies as of June 30, the deadline for meeting Emiratisation targets for the first half of 2025. The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) credited this achievement to the effectiveness of the UAE's Emiratisation policies and the Nafis programme, calling it a key milestone in integrating national talent into the private sector workforce. UAE nationals are now employed in six major sectors including business services, construction, finance, trade and manufacturing, holding roles from specialists to managers and administrative staff. The ministry also reported a 33 per cent year-on-year increase in private-sector companies operating in the UAE — a sign of ongoing economic expansion and a supportive business environment. Looking ahead, the MoHRE is aiming for a further 1 per cent increase in skilled Emirati hires at larger companies by year-end, while also requiring smaller firms (20 to 49 employees) in 14 key sectors to onboard at least one Emirati by December. The ministry says it will continue offering incentives through the Nafis programme to support companies meeting their targets and reaffirmed its commitment to building a strong, competitive and inclusive national workforce. Our latest statistics show that the number of Emirati citizens working in the private sector has surpassed 152,000, employed across more than 29,000 companies as of 30 June 2025, the deadline set for achieving Emiratisation targets for the first half of the year.

UAE cracks down on firms not practising licensed activities
The UAE's Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation is cracking down on businesses violating labour laws. Since the start of the year, around 1,300 establishments, linked to 1,800 employers, were found to be inactive despite having registered workers with no real employment ties. In response, the Ministry has suspended new work permits for these businesses, issued fines exceeding AED 34 million, and downgraded them to the lowest category in its classification system. Further action includes banning these owners from registering new establishments, in line with UAE labour regulations. The Ministry urges all employers to cancel licences and regularise workers' status if their business operations cease. It also highlighted the success of its smart inspection system in identifying non-compliant firms. Members of the public are encouraged to report violations by calling 60059000 or using the Ministry's smart app or website. The Ministry's monitoring system has detected around 1,300 establishments, owned by approximately 1,800 employers, that were not effectively practicing their licensed activities, despite having registered workers without a real employment relationship. Strict measures were taken… — وزارة الموارد البشرية والتوطين (@MOHRE_UAE) June 30, 2025
