The government of Dubai has cut business licensing fees by up to a third and has frozen other government charges in a bid to stimulate economic activity.

This includes fees levied by the government for administrative or economic services even if the costs of these services are higher than the market rate, it continued.

The government departments will also strive to provide all facilities to those who pay the fees, by way of receiving some of those fees on instalments.
