progress made by the Committee in implementing the outcomes and recommendations from the second
meeting of 2025.

H.E. Bin Touq stated that the UAE, thanks to the directives of its wise leadership, has made significant strides
in building an advanced economic legislative framework characterized by flexibility and stability. This ensures

an ideal and attractive economic environment for investors, entrepreneurs, and business owners from around
the world, boosting national economic growth.

In this context, His Excellency highlighted the key role played by the Economic Integration Committee in
continually enhancing the UAE’s economic legislation and policies, adopting innovative national initiatives,

and enhancing cooperation and coordination with partners at both federal and local levels. These efforts have
ensured greater alignment and coherence across the country’s legislative and regulatory landscape, given
that the UAE has introduced over 30 economic laws and resolutions in the past four years.

The Minister of Economy said: “The UAE is ushering in a new phase focused on strengthening the
competitiveness of its legislative environment in line with global best practices. This follows the Cabinet’s

approval of an integrated smart legislative system to guide the development of legislation and regulations
across the UAE Government. Powered by artificial intelligence and advanced digital solutions, the system
has enhanced the Committee’s capabilities in proposing and developing economic legislation and policies,

assessing their real-time impact on the business community, and streamlining coordination with relevant
stakeholders in the country.” His Excellency explained that the new system will play a key role in achieving

the national target outlined in the ‘We the UAE 2031’ vision, which is to make the UAE the first globally in
developing proactive legislation for new economic sectors by the next decade.

Other topics discussed by the Committee include developments in the legislative and executive framework
for regulating and protecting competition in the UAE. Emphasis was placed on the importance of organizing

workshops and seminars in collaboration with relevant local entities to raise awareness on the importance of
enforcing competition laws and policies across various economic sectors and preventing monopolistic
practices. These efforts are aimed at achieving economic balance in the market and protecting consumer

rights.
Furthermore, the latest Committee meeting reviewed the progress made by the UAE Circular Economy

Council so far, most notably the adoption of 22 circular economy policies across four main sectors:
manufacturing, food, infrastructure, and transport. It also includes the establishment of the Circular Economy

Policy Committee and the formation of partnerships with the UAE private sector to drive growth in sustainable
technologies, clean energy, and waste management. The Committee reiterated its commitment to ensuring

the effective implementation of these policies and accelerating the transition to a circular economy model,
which will help secure a more prosperous future for current and future generations while advancing the
nation’s vision to become the world’s most prosperous society by the next decade.
