Panel members during the discussion at World Governments Summit 2025.

The Ministry of Economy organised the “Future of the Economy” forum, bringing together economic
policymakers, experts, thought leaders and representatives of international economic organisations to
discuss transformative and modern trends that are shaping the growth and sustainability of regional
and global economies.

It also explored the evolving trade dynamics and ongoing developments in the global economy. The
forum was held as part of the World Governments Summit (WGS) 2025, which is being held from 11th
to 13th February under the theme “Shaping Future Governments”.

The forum held three panel discussions on key topics, including the emergence of innovative
industrial policies, the formation of new economic blocs and their role in supporting economic growth,
and the opportunities for regional economic growth in 2025.

Additionally, it discussed the economic and geopolitical challenges that hinder regional and global
economic growth, as well as promising opportunities in emerging markets.

Abdulla Bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy, said that organising the forum at this year’s WGS
demonstrates the UAE’s commitment to fostering dialogue and knowledge exchange with experts,
