Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri, the UAE's Minister of Economy, has forecast a 5 to 6% growth for the national economy
in 2025.

Speaking to the Emirates News Agency (WAM) on the sidelines of the World Governments Summit in Dubai, Al Marri said that
the growth will be driven by strong performance in key sectors such as technology, renewable energy, trade, financial services
and infrastructure.

He revealed that the UAE’s GDP grew by an average of 4.8% between 2021 and 2024, with non-oil GDP growth averaging
6.2%.

Al Marrri also noted that non-oil sectors now contribute 75% of the country’s GDP, aligning with the "We the UAE 2031" vision.

The minister emphasised that the nation’s continued growth showcases its ability to maintain high and sustainable expansion,
surpassing even some advanced economies.

He also outlined the UAE’s strategic focus on the circular economy, space economy, and emerging sectors, as well as efforts
to build new economic alliances and attract foreign investments.
