They will also encourage alternative financing methods and enable investors to diversify their investments in the real estate sector, catering to investors with small and medium-sized portfolios.

Bin Mejren highlighted that DLD remains committed to pursuing best practices in the real estate sector and attracting both Islamic and private real estate investment portfolios. Alongside its mortgage law initiative, DLD has also submitted a proposal to cooperate with public joint stock companies to encourage alternative financing methods. 

DLD seeks to attract foreign investment property portfolios in line with the directives of the Government of Dubai to position Dubai as the world's leading investment destination and keep abreast of global economic changes, and is working to achieve this mission by strengthening its close relations with major international institutions, intensifying cooperation and external visits, harnessing all possibilities to facilitate investment activities, and enabling investors of all sizes to diversify their investments in the real estate sector. 

“The implementation of this initiative will help to stimulate real estate investment and raise financial and economic efficiency. We hope that this will enhance economic growth, improve Dubai’s business environment by making it more efficient and attractive, develop competitiveness, encourage innovation and efficiency, and strengthen Dubai's position globally,” said Bin Mejren. 

The development of Dubai’s mortgage and finance systems will involve issuing a real estate legislation package that will have a positive impact on supporting the development of the sector. It will also strengthen partnerships between the public and private sectors to develop mortgage finance systems and mechanisms, leading to the identification of mortgage engines in Dubai’s real estate market. 

On a larger scale, the initiatives stress the importance of financial stability, economic diversification, government spending and the Dubai Plan 2021, and will allow the real estate market to mature by creating an enhanced property investment environment that is transparent and safe for all investors. 

DLD hopes that the dissemination of these regulations in the market will be a key factor in the definition of legislation and laws that protect the rights of all investors and adopt modern technologies. Through regular transactions, mortgage procedures in Dubai will be highlighted, ultimately leading to greater confidence in mortgage registrations.
