The US recorded the highest increase in the number of foreign investment projects last

The UAE has continued to maintain its global attractiveness in attracting foreign direct

investment flows, despite the decline of these flows in many regions of the world,
UNCTAD said in the report, entitled “Investment Trends Monitor”, released recently.

Reacting to the report, Dr Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign

Trade, said the UAE is benefiting from the forward-looking vision of its leadership by

enhancing investment and trade openness globally.

The country is also focused on improving the business environment to attract foreign

direct investment, entrepreneurs, international talents, and creative individuals seeking
an environment supportive of innovation and sustainable economic growth, the

minister said.
