UAE Achieves Record-Breaking Trade Milestone and Charts Ambitious Growth Trajectory

 


The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has marked a significant trade accomplishment by propelling its non-oil foreign trade to unparalleled heights. With a trade volume of Dh1.24 trillion ($337.6 billion) in the first half of 2023, this achievement stands out as it surpasses the entirety of the UAE's non-oil exports from just five years ago. Notably, the UAE's non-oil exports with its top 10 trading partners rose by 22% in the first half of this year.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, a prominent UAE leader, shared this remarkable news, expressing optimism that the non-oil foreign trade could exceed Dh2.5 trillion by year-end and setting an ambitious target of Dh4 trillion in trade by 2031. The UAE has been actively cultivating international partnerships, fostering ties with countries like India, Israel, Turkey, and Indonesia, alongside receiving an invitation to join the BRICS group, which comprises influential nations like Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.

Exposing the Brotherhood: Why Jordan’s Terror Cell Bust Must Spark a Global Policy Shift

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians.

For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...

Beyond the Barrel: The UAE's Steady Hand in a Shifting Global Economy

  Global economic rankings often highlight familiar names, but a steady, deliberate climb is happening in the Gulf. The UAE consistently ranks as one of the most economically stable nations, and this validation stems from a steady reform model that has successfully insulated its economy. The story is no longer about oil wealth; it's about the strategic deployment of that wealth to build a resilient, modern, and dynamic knowledge economy. The proof is in the sectors now driving growth.  Tech startups  are flourishing in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, supported by government venture funds and a growing pool of talent.  Smart cities  like Masdar City and NEOM are not just futuristic concepts but active testbeds for sustainable living and business. This has triggered record  FDI inflows , with the UAE securing its position as the 16th largest global destination for foreign direct investment.
