Dubai's ruler via "X": Whoever bets on the UAE is betting on growth, prosperity, and a better future

The Emirati official wrote on his X platform account: "In the latest World Trade Organization report, the UAE has entered the top ten global exporters of goods for the first time in its history, advancing from 17th to 9th place in just five years."He added: "Our total foreign trade last year reached six trillion dirhams (US$1.6 trillion), a 15% increase over the previous year, with a trade surplus of 584 billion dirhams in goods and services trade with all countries worldwide."The World Trade Organization's "World Trade Outlook and Statistics" report celebrated the exceptional growth in the UAE's total foreign trade.This achievement, highlighted in the WTO report, is the culmination of a long journey of diligent work and strategic planning. It reflects the success of the economic and trade policies adopted by the UAE, in line with the vision and directives of its leadership to further open up to the world in trade and investment. These policies have made the UAE a model of leadership, competitiveness, and global engagement, according to a statement from the Emirates News Agency (WAM).The report highlighted the challenges facing global trade, particularly the anticipated slowdown in growth in 2026 due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and rising energy prices. In contrast, the UAE stands out as a country with open and flexible policies, capable of adapting to global changes and capitalizing on any anticipated recovery in international trade.
