19.05.2025 BY UPPERNEWS TEAM 3 0
Dubai has firmly established itself as a significant player in the global diamond trade, with recent statistics
confirming that more than 1.06 billion carats of rough and polished diamonds were traded through the city
over the past five years. In 2024 alone, 179 million carats were traded. These figures were announced by
Ahmed Bin Sulayem, the UAE’s Chair of the Kimberley Process (KP), during the annual Kimberley Process
Intersessional Meeting held last week in Dubai.
