Abu Dhabi has launched Dh55 billion ($15 billion) worth of public-private partnership projects to boost major development in the transport, infrastructure and social sectors.
The pipeline, which comprises 24 projects, has been launched jointly by the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (Adio) and Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre, the emirate's Media Office said on Monday. The projects are set to be brought to market in 2026 and 2027.
The pipeline forms part of Abu Dhabi’s long-term infrastructure development strategy, state news agency Wam cited Eid Alobeidli, director of Musataha and PPP at Adio, as saying. It will create large-scale investment opportunities for the private sector and attract domestic and international capital, he added.
The transport component includes 11 major road projects with investments estimated at Dh35 billion, covering more than 300 kilometres of new roads, alongside upgrades to existing roads, tunnels, intersections and wider network improvements, Mr Alobeidli said.
He added that Dh11 billion has been allocated to five key infrastructure projects, including dams, water storage systems, flood control, stormwater drainage upgrades and urban landscaping works.
A total of Dh9 billion has been earmarked for social infrastructure projects, including sports facilities, specialist healthcare assets, schools and universities, enhancing quality of life and providing sustainable, government-backed community facilities.
