(Pakistan Point News - 20th Jun, 2025) ABU DHABI, 19th June, 2025 (WAM) – Dr. Thani bin
Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade, stated that the record figures for foreign
direct investment into the UAE, as highlighted in the UNCTAD World Investment Report 2025,
reflect the significant developments in the UAE economy. This progress is driven by our
leadership's visionary approach, which emphasises greater openness to the world through
strategic partnerships with influential countries in the global economy.

He noted that the record annual increase of 48% in foreign investments,
reaching AED 167 billion in 2024, demonstrates the confidence of major global economies and
key international players in the UAE as a trusted investment and trade partner. The UAE boasts
one of the best business environments worldwide, which is further demonstrated by it
accounting for over a third of the region's foreign investment inflows. The country also ranks
second in new foreign direct investment projects, following the United States, the world's largest
economy.

Furthermore, he emphasised that the continued growth in foreign investment reflects the
successful alignment of strategic plans being implemented by the UAE. These include
expanding commercial and investment opportunities through the Comprehensive Economic
Partnership Agreements programme, fostering knowledge-based and innovative sectors, and
attracting and retaining the best companies and talents globally.

The UAE is committed to enhancing its business environment to stimulate growth and
expansion, solidifying its position year after year as an international business hub and a
preferred global destination, where creative ideas meet capital seeking promising opportunities.
