Nasser Hassan Al-Shaikh
Nationality Dubai
Occupation Businessman

Nasser Hassan Al-Shaikh was, until 19 May 2009, Director General of Department of Finance, Government of Dubai.

Career

On 19 May 2009, in a shock move, he was moved to the post of Assistant to the Director of the Rulers Court for Foreign Affairs. Later on June 23, 2009 he was relieved from all Government posts[1] including his new role in the rulers court after resigning from several public posts a few days earlier.[2]

His exit, for which no reason was given, shook the business community as he had been seen as one of the key architects of Dubai’s efforts to deal with the fallout from the global financial crisis, which has severely affected the emirate’s economy.[3]

Just days before being replaced, Al-Shaikh was speaking at the World Economic Forum in Jordan about how the second $10 billion tranche would be distributed. A few weeks prior he also spoke in depth about the economic situation during an exclusive interview on Dubai Eye 103.8's The Business Breakfast.[4]
