There’s a crisis and the Crown Prince of Dubai is not on the ball with solutions?! Urm not likely.

Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council recently announced an additional AED500 million stimulus package to help the local economy manage with the heavy economic impact of COVID-19.

This takes the total stimulus package announced by Dubai to AED6.8 billion this year.

However, this stimulus package will ONLY last until the end of 2020.
