UAE Aims to Double FDI Inflows by 2031 with Strategic Investment Plan

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, presided over a Cabinet meeting at Qasr Al Watan in Abu Dhabi, unveiling an ambitious roadmap to enhance foreign direct investment (FDI). The National Investment Strategy 2031 sets out clear objectives to double annual FDI flows within six years, reinforcing the UAE’s reputation as a global business hub.

The plan includes bold economic targets, aiming to increase annual FDI inflows from AED 112 billion in 2023 to AED 240 billion by 2031. Additionally, the UAE seeks to raise its total FDI stock from AED 800 billion to AED 2.2 trillion over the same period, demonstrating a strong commitment to attracting foreign capital.

Key economic sectors targeted for growth under this strategy include industry, logistics, financial services, renewable energy, and information technology. By prioritizing these areas, the UAE aims to diversify its economy, reduce reliance on oil revenues, and align with global sustainability trends.

The National Investment Strategy 2031 is supported by 12 new programs and 30 initiatives, including the Financial Sector Development Programme, the One-Market Programme, the Institutional Innovation Attraction Programme, and the ‘InvestUAE’ initiative. These efforts are designed to streamline business regulations, enhance the investment climate, and foster entrepreneurship.

By setting ambitious milestones—such as increasing FDI’s share in total investments to over 30% and its contribution to GDP to 8%—the UAE is positioning itself as a leading destination for investors worldwide. This forward-thinking approach ensures sustainable economic growth and cements the nation’s status as a top-tier investment hub.

 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. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. 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...
