This means an increase of Dh500 million from the previous year in which Dubai eGovernment collected Dh1 billion from around 1 million transactions. The increase was achieved despite the fact that the number of departments adopting the electronic payment gateway in 2009 has remained the same at 22.

“Our strategy is to establish a centralised platform in providing e-services as we are strongly committed to support the gradual digital transformation of Dubai and the entire UAE. The positive results that we achieved in 2009 reflect the trust and confidence of the public in Dubai eGovernment. We are also keen on developing new solutions and e-services and cultivating best practices,” Ahmed Bin Humaidan, Director-General, Dubai eGovernment, said.
