2/22/24, 5:19 PM Forward-looking vision of wise leadership reflected in UAE's non-oil foreign trade: Al Zeyoudi - www.lokmattimes.com
which continued to record unprecedented historical numbers at the end of 2023,
exceeding over AED3.5 trillion.
"This is a genuine milestone for our nation. The expansion of foreign trade is a
pillar of the UAE's economic strategy, a driving force of growth and diversification
and a catalyst for sectors that focus on innovation, knowledge, and advanced
technology," he added.
Al Zeyoudi hailed these results as "particularly notable", as they came amid a 5
per cent decline in global trade in the first half of 2023, and an 8 per cent fall in
exports in the third quarter.
"The continuing upward trend in the UAE's non-oil foreign trade is a clear
reflection of the national vision of a dynamic, diversified economy that is open to
the world," he said.
