The UAE aims to effect 4 trillion -oil -external trade within two years
According to the Vice President and VAE Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum in a tweet on the “X” platform, the UAE is expected to reach a foreign trade abroad to 4 trillion dirhams within two years. The volume of foreign trade in the Emirates rose 18.6% during the first quarter to score 835 billion dirhams. Although the International Monetary Fund has reduced its expectations for the growth of the UAE during the current and next year, it still leads the countries of the Arab region in terms of the expected growth during 2025, according to the “Global Economy Prospects” report released by the fund early last month. The director of the Department of Middle East and Central Asia at the Fund Jihad Azour said in previous statements that high growth in the UAE is mainly due to the wealth of non -oil sectors, and due to investment in infrastructure and the growth of the service and financial sectors.
