Proposals included broader use of digital onboarding, enhanced collateral options and sector-specific lending corridors to accelerate support.
There was also emphasis on building financial literacy and advisory services to help companies choose appropriate financing structures.
Bank officials suggested targeted workshops and follow-up clinics to ensure businesses can take full advantage of available instruments.
Implications for Dubai’s economic competitiveness
Stakeholders said improving banking support for businesses will boost operational continuity and investment confidence across the emirate.
Flexible financial solutions are viewed as a means to help firms withstand external shocks and pursue expansion opportunities.
Strengthening ties between chambers and financial institutions is expected to contribute to long-term private-sector resilience.
