This expansive network includes a wide variety of credit agencies, exporters and importers in key global markets,
particularly from those countries that have signed Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements (CEPAs).
At the end of last year, the total value of export and re-export activities with these countries amounted to
approximately AED 390.5 billion, which facilitated significant trade and export advantages for achieving the
country’s economic objectives and positioning it as a major trade and logistics hub. This includes enhanced
access to global markets, reduced or eliminated tariffs, streamlined customs procedures, promotion of fair trade,
as well as the establishment of clear and transparent regulations.

H.E. Raja Al Mazrouei, CEO of ECI, said: “We are eager to collaborate closely with and support the companies
selected to join our Xport Xponential initiative. Our goal is to empower businesses within the UAE’s export and re-
export sectors, enhancing our role in the growth of exports and foreign trade in the UAE.

“This initiative underscores our commitment to offering credit, financial, and advisory support tools that can
significantly increase non-oil product exports from the UAE. Through this initiative, we aim to expand our
partnerships, reinforcing collaboration with key stakeholders and promoting the diversification and sustainability
of our national economy, in alignment with the ambitious vision of our esteemed leadership,” Her Excellency
added.

Furthermore, ECI will organise a one-day workshop, with the participation of representatives from the finalist
companies. The workshop aims to provide guidance, instructions and training on the initiative. It will focus on a
range of topics, primarily centred on preparing participating companies for the next steps.

ECI is set to arrange roadshows in several countries, aiming to introduce the initiative in nations that have signed
Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements (CEPAs), in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
(MOFA) and Ministry of Economy (MoE), among other relevant entities.
