Sharjah is attracting companies in different sectors and its economy could grow up to 7.5 per cent
in 2025 on the back of smarter policies, more economic integration and foreign investments in key
sectors, a senior UAE official said.

"We will be hosting a number of quite frank discussions with the private sector about what the
government should be doing better to protect the core industries – manufacturing, trading,
agriculture and the environment – that we have,” said Sheikh Fahim Bin Sultan Bin Khalid Al Qasimi,
executive chairman of the Department of Government Relations.
