Economy may alter 2015 plan, PM says

The global financial crisis has prompted a review of Dubai’s 2015 strategic plan, the Prime Minister said yesterday, but he emphasised that many of the emirate’s objectives would probably be achieved on schedule.

In an internet question and answer session with the general public, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, who is also Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, said there were already signs that the economy was reviving.

He said a “careful review” had been launched of Dubai’s 2015 plan to take into account developments in financial markets and the global economy.
