New UNCTAD report highlights UAE’s position as one of world’s best investment hubs

HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, expressed gratitude to the regulatory, legislative, and service entities that played a crucial role in strengthening the UAE's position as one of the world's leading international investment hubs. 

Despite the global decline in foreign direct investment (FDI), the UAE managed to attract a record-breaking $22.7 billion in FDI last year, making it one of the top 20 economies in terms of FDI inflows.  The UAE achieved record-breaking investment levels, attracting high levels of foreign investment and becoming the fourth-largest recipient of greenfield projects. 

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been recognized as one of world’s best investment hubs highlights by New UNCTAD report. The UAE has attracted significant foreign direct investment (FDI) due to several factors, including its strategic geographic location, business-friendly policies, world-class infrastructure, political stability, and economic diversification efforts.
