Shaping a Supportive Business Environment

Among the key initiatives highlighted by Alaiba were measures aimed at simplifying and streamlining business operations.

Additionally, the Office for the Development of the Economy (ODA) played a vital role in offering businesses vital training, counselling, and access to funding.

Building on Momentum in 2024

Looking ahead, Alaiba expressed unwavering optimism and determination. "We are looking to the future with confidence," he declared. **
