ABU DHABI (WAM)

Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade, stated that the United Arab Emirates, guided by
the directives of its wise leadership, continues to lead and maintain its competitiveness on the global trade map. This
was reaffirmed by the latest World Trade Organisation (WTO) report titled "World Trade Outlook and Statistics”.

In statements to the Emirates News Agency (WAM), Al Zeyoudi highlighted that the UAE has consistently ranked

among the top global trade hubs since 2014, holding the leading position in the Middle East and Africa for trade in
goods and services, noting that trade in services accounts for 20 percent of the UAE’s total trade with the world.

He attributed the significant growth in the UAE's foreign trade to the country’s open economy, its ability to attract
investors, flexible policies and regulations, and its Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements (CEPA)
