Foreign trade, GDP: What’s next
Despite a projected 0.2 per cent decline in global trade in 2025, the UAE remains resilient, contributing to a 1.6 per
cent regional GDP growth in 2024, with forecasts of 3.2 per cent in 2025 and 3.5 per cent in 2026.
Its strategic vision, diversified economy, and investment in digital infrastructure position it to lead the next phase of
global trade evolution.

Dr Al Zeyoudi affirmed, “These achievements stem from national efforts, flexible policies, and strong international
partnerships. The UAE will continue to enhance its global role by facilitating trade, expanding collaborations, and
integrating with global value chains.”
