11/11/25, 8:35 AM Etihad Credit Insurance strengthens UAE–China economic partnership
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to a network of more than 400 million companies
worldwide, helping them identify buyers, suppliers, and new opportunities.

Al Mazrouei also emphasised that trade insurance and export credit are evolving to
enhance UAE–China cooperation, particularly as firms from both sides pursue co-
manufacturing and industrial ventures.

At AIM China Chapter 2025, she discussed how global capital shifts and industrial
innovation are reshaping trade, reaffirming ECI’s commitment to empowering SMEs,
strengthening supply chains, and supporting sustainable growth aligned with the
UAE’s Vision 2031, which aims to raise non-oil exports to AED 800
bn. She highlighted that SMEs comprise over 94 per cent of UAE
enterprises and are vital to economic diversification. Through initiatives such as
“Xport Xponential,” ECI has mobilised AED 174 million in SME funding, driving
investment into productive sectors.

China remains one of the UAE’s key trading partners, supported by frameworks such
as the UAE–China Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA). ECI
continues to facilitate trade and investment through partnerships with Chinese
institutions, including Sinosure, ensuring resilient and sustainable bilateral growth.
