His Highness Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ajman, approved today the Ajman Government’s 2025 general budget worth AED3.7 billion ($1.01 billion).
The move aims to support the emirate’s development plans, enhance community well-being, meet public needs, and strengthen Ajman’s stature as a preferred destination for living, working and tourism.
Ajman prioritizes improving quality of life
Ajman’s 2025 budget focuses on community development, public safety, infrastructure projects, community facilities, economic development plans, investment attraction, environmental protection, sustainability initiatives and improving government services. It also supports digital transformation to benefit citizens, residents and visitors.
The government allocated 39 percent of the budget for quality of life, 27 percent for public services and government innovation, 20 percent for economic development and 14 percent for security and safety.
This budget aligns with Ajman Vision 2030, which emphasizes future readiness, capacity building to address challenges and seize opportunities, developing a flexible institutional framework, leveraging innovative technologies, ensuring a skilled workforce and creating a sustainable economic, social, and environmental future, thereby enhancing quality of life and community happiness.
Enhancing economic development
By allocating 20 percent of its 2025 budget for economic development, Ajman seeks to meet one of the key objectives of its vision which is enhancing the competitive business environment and investment climate. Ajman has set out a clear pathway to achieving this target by creating a business-friendly environment, encouraging and facilitating investment, strengthening the commercial infrastructure, and facilitating trade and the commercial environment.
In addition, the vision aims to develop a conducive environment for entrepreneurship, start-ups and the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and to enable increased private sector participation in public projects and services.
The emirate also seeks to build human capital capable of achieving the emirate’s aspirations by ensuring world-class education that drives academic achievement and prepares for the future, encouraging research and development (R&D) and innovation in the emirate, and strengthening workforce skills and lifelong learning.

It also supports the expansion of road networks, parks, and green spaces, promotes green building initiatives, and encourages the growth of community and cultural activities.
These targets also fall in line with the Ajman Vision 2030 which aims to enhance the emirate’s attractiveness by improving the performance of city operations and public services, creating active urban centers, facilitating access to green and blue spaces, sports, recreational facilities and community facilities, and promoting health, safety and well-being.
Another main goal for Ajman is to achieve an integrated and sustainable transport system by 2030. This will be achieved by improving the quality of the road infrastructure, improving the quality of the public transportation network, and encouraging active transportation by providing an environment conducive to walking and cycling.
