Dubai: The Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry has launched the 20th issue of its Commercial Directory 2008-2009.
Published separately in Arabic and English, the directory has an increased listing of 3.3 per cent from the last edition and is considered a strong trading tool for all businesses and consumers locally, regionally and internationally.
The new version of the directory lists all types of active businesses operating in Dubai and registered with the Dubai Chamber in addition to updates and information on businesses and economic activities in the UAE in general and Dubai in particular.
The directory also provides an overview of Dubai's economic and trade activities, infrastructure, free zones, social services, procedures for obtaining licences, future Dubai projects and a brief description of services offered by the Dubai Chamber.

"The rise in the number of companies listed in the commercial directory this year reflects the development and strength of Dubai's economy, and underlines the success of the Dubai Chamber in making this directory the most comprehensive information source of its kind, and an essential reference for the local and foreign businesses wishing to establish new contacts with other businesses to promote their products and services," said Hamad Bu Amim, Director General of the Chamber.
The new directory contains two sections. The first one features valuable information on Dubai's trade and economic activities, infrastructure, possibilities for doing business in Dubai, procedures for licensing of economic enterprises, Dubai's free zones and its future projects.
Section two lists over 73,000 companies operating in Dubai and its free zones with their full contact details and areas of operations.
"As part of the Dubai Chamber's mission to support and protect the interests of the business community, the new directory serves our purpose of providing value-added services to our members besides keeping pace with the unprecedented growth of Dubai's economy and infrastructure," said Bu Amim.
