Empowering SMEs to strengthen domestic value chains

During the ‘Capital Flow in a New Multipolar World’ panel, organized as part of the
AIM Congress China Chapter 2025, Al Mazrouei discussed how global capital
dynamics and industrial innovation are redefining international trade. The discussion

also underscored Etihad Credit Insurance’s commitment to empowering SMEs,
strengthening supply chain resilience and advancing sustainable trade in alignment
with the UAE 2031 vision, which aims to grow the nation’s non-oil exports to AED800

billion.

“SMEs represent over 94 percent of UAE enterprises, forming the backbone of our
economy, a vital source of employment and advancing economic diversity. Initiatives
such as Xport Xponential have already mobilized AED174 million in SME funding. By
empowering SMEs, we strengthen domestic value chains and attract venture capital

and foreign direct investment (FDI) into high-impact, productive sectors,” Raja said.
