Dubai Data and Statistics Establishment, operating under Digital Dubai, has successfully completed the fifth edition of the Household Income and Expenditure Survey 2024.

The survey, conducted with 5,000 Emirati and non-Emirati families, as well as collective households and workers’ accommodations, achieved an impressive 87% response rate.

As part of a nationwide initiative led by the Federal Competitiveness and Statistics Centre in collaboration with local statistical authorities, the survey examines key economic and social indicators. It provides insights into household income levels, spending habits, and overall living standards, helping shape policies that enhance societal well-being.

Younus Al Nasser, Chief Executive of Dubai Data and Statistics Establishment, emphasized the survey’s role in providing valuable data for decision-making.

“With every survey we conduct—whether in social, economic, or other fields—the vital role of data as a true reflection of reality becomes increasingly evident. The Household Income and Expenditure Survey 2024 exemplifies this, reaffirming the importance of collaboration in leveraging real data and insights,"

he stated.

The survey aligns with Dubai’s Social Agenda 33, supporting leadership efforts to enhance the quality of life and solidify the city’s reputation as a global hub for living and working. The data collection process involved 105 participants and was marked by high accuracy and comprehensiveness, reflecting both institutional confidence and public awareness of the significance of statistical insights in policymaking.
