“The B20 Summit is a vital platform to strengthen collaboration between the public and private
sectors. It is important that policymakers listen to the expertise and insights from those who utilise
global supply chains day in, day out to ensure they remain the enablers of growth and not barriers
to it. As a consistent advocate for the benefits of open, rules-based trade, the United Arab Emirates
is committed to contributing to a trading system that is more efficient, more accessible and more
resilient – and one that includes every nation and benefits every participant.”

The UAE delegation to both the G20 Business Summit and the UAE-Global Business Forum
included representatives from diverse sectors including education and research, innovation and
technology, health services, trade and investment, energy, agriculture and food security, tourism,
industry, ports and logistics, aviation, finance, defense and sports.

The UAE’s trade with G20 countries exceeded $196.1 billion in the first half of 2024, an increase of
4.1% from the previous year, representing over half of the UAE’s total non-oil trade. The UAE’s total
non-oil trade with the G20 surpassed $393.2 billion in 2023, a 15.3% increase compared to 2022.
