What Is the New Minimum Wage for Emiratis in the UAE’s Private Sector?

Starting January 1, 2026, the UAE will implement a minimum wage of Dh6,000 for Emiratis working in the private sector, as announced by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE). The update, first shared through the MOHRE smart app and later confirmed on X, reflects the government’s ongoing efforts to strengthen Emiratisation, ensure fair compensation, and encourage more citizens to join private enterprises. Do you think this move will boost Emirati participation and competitiveness in the private sector?
