Economic Security in Dubai Boosts Growth, EY Study Finds

Economic security has emerged as a key driver of development in Dubai, according to a recent study conducted by EY in collaboration with Dubai Police, highlighting the impact of a low-crime environment on economic and social growth.

The study shows that economic security in Dubai is the result of long-term investments in institutional stability and advanced security systems, strengthening confidence among residents and businesses and reinforcing the emirate’s appeal as a hub for living, working, and investment.

Dubai Police, established in 1956, is presented as a modern security institution that has evolved into a cornerstone of stability, directly supporting economic security and enhancing Dubai’s global competitiveness.

Based on an econometric analysis of data from 50 countries between 1995 and 2021, the report concludes that lower crime rates and higher safety levels contribute significantly to GDP growth and long-term economic sustainability.

The findings underline that security is no longer only a social necessity, but a central economic engine supporting sustainable growth and reinforcing Dubai’s position as a leading global economy.
