These figures reflect the growing demand for housing in the emirate, along with a marked recovery in commercial activity and strengthening investor confidence in Ajman’s business environment.
He further said that the emirate continues to achieve tangible progress in attracting investment and supporting development projects, ensuring sustainability and long-term success. He emphasized that Ajman’s strategic geographical location as an important link between the emirates has significantly contributed to the increase in demand for different types of rental contracts.

He asserted that Ajman’s legal and regulatory framework is characterized by flexibility and clarity, providing a supportive environment for entrepreneurship and investment.
