Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects
Abu Dhabi’s strong commitment to fostering collaboration with the private sector is realised through the emirate’s public-private partnership (PPP) initiatives.
In 2019, a new law regulating PPPs (Law No.2) was introduced to encourage long-term involvement of the private sector in major infrastructure projects in the emirate.
Abu Dhabi’s PPP model:
- Supports the growth of the private sector by increasing domestic and foreign private sector investment in infrastructure projects and the delivery of public services
- Enhances financial sustainability and flexibility by spreading infrastructure investment costs over the life of the asset
- Facilitates better execution and service delivery by encouraging private sector innovation in the implementation and operation of infrastructure projects

Musataha projects
A Musataha Agreement creates a real property right, entitling the holder to construct a building or to invest in, mortgage, lease, sell or purchase a plot of land belonging to a third party for a period of up to 50 years.
The latest additions to the Musataha agreement give private sector investors opportunities to deliver long-term projects in Abu Dhabi, including the development of land owned by the government.
The revised agreement maximises benefits for both the private and public sectors, including the implementation of a highly competitive pricing model with flexible and attractive terms for companies looking to grow in the emirate.
