More than 2,000 Emiratis joined the UAE's private sector in the first three months of a major government recruitment drive.

The UAE set out plans in September to ensure 10 per cent of the private-sector workforce were citizens in the next five years.

A series of initiatives were launched to increase the number of Emirati private-sector workers by 75,000, by 2026, as part of the Nafis programme.
