DUBAI / WAM
To promote ease of doing business and to support its customers Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza), the GCC’s largest special economic zone, will become the first free zone in the country to return cash and bank guarantees to its clients through its new Workforce Protection Programme initiative that is set to roll out in
September of this year.
The move will provide added benefits to employees and infuse AED1.3 billion back into Dubai’s economy that companies can invest in their operations and strengthen their businesses.
The decision is geared towards supporting goals set by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to improve worker rights and protections under the UAE Government’s insurance initiative.
