In Conversation with H.E. Mohamed Al Shorafa

A lot of people think infrastructure is construction. But when you look at infrastructure, infrastructure touches a lot of different economic sectors. It touches hospitality, healthcare, education, construction, transportation. So when the government actually pumps a lot of investment into infrastructure and developing these assets, there's a lot of multiplier effect that generates economic cycle in a lot of different sectors. What Abu Dhabi have done is trying to invest now over 240 billion in Durham's worth of infrastructure projects in the next 7 to 10 years.

And to do that, this cannot be done only by the government. And that's why we are involving the private sector in a lot of different programs to move as fast as possible because we believe the more infrastructure is there the more we can actually generate more economic sustainability, economic growth and increase our resident exposure [music] to Abu Dhabi's infrastructure.
