According to him, the market would spur Emarati investors and businessmen to enter into fruitful business partnerships with the their Chinese counterparts and draw lessons from their rich experiments in undertaking community-oriented investment projects.
The Ajman Ruler lauded the China Market management for allocating an annual quota of jobs for UAE nationals, saying such a trend would boost the emirate’s Emiratisation policy.

Each building consists of 260 commercial stores; that is, the total number of stores reaches more than 1000 commercial stores. It is expected that the volume of investments and goods therein will reach a value of more than Dh2 billion. Shaikh Mohammed bin Abdullah bin Sultan Al Nuaimi, the Director General of Ajman Ports and Customs Department and Ajman Free Zone Authority, said that all retail shops were almost leased out. He expected investment in goods to cross the mark of Dh2 billion.
“Work is on to increase the capacity of external parkings to 1200 slots,” he added. “The project aims at delivering a qualitative leap in the shopping experience offering consumers a diverse basket of options,” he said. With the opening of the China Market, he said, volume of imports is set to grow by 20 to 30 per cent compared with the current level.

The project also aims at stepping forward towards a specific marketing process and variation of goods and international trademarks including (house appliances, electronics, clothes and furniture) all to be in one place so that purchasers save their time.
