2/22/24, 5:19 PM Forward-looking vision of wise leadership reflected in UAE's non-oil foreign trade: Al Zeyoudi
"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.
