Minister of Economy, convened its first meeting for 2025, with participation from
H.E. Alia Bint Abdulla Al Mazrouei, Minister of State for Entrepreneurship, and
local economic department directors.

The meeting reviewed 2024’s achievements, including significant contributions to
legislative reforms, economic diversification, and enhancing the country’s business and
investment climate.

The UAE’s economic performance in 2024 showcased progress in innovation-led growth.
Non-oil GDP grew by 4.4% during H1 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, with
non-oil sectors contributing 75% of the GDP by mid-year. These achievements

entities to harmonise economic legislation and align policies with global standards.

Key accomplishments include the development of five new laws and four economic
policies targeting critical sectors such as consumer rights, corporate governance,
cooperatives, and anti-money laundering (AML). Initiatives to enhance intellectual
property (IP) protection and support family businesses were also highlighted,
contributing to the UAE’s global competitiveness.

In 2024, the Committee established seven task forces to enhance economic cooperation,
implemented 79 recommendations—over 98% of which were successfully executed—
