The UAE economy is projected to expand by 4.5 per cent in 2025, placing it ahead of all regional peers, said the UAE Minister of Economy and Tourism.
Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri told delegates at Abu Dhabi’s Hili Forum that prudent fiscal strategies, strong non-oil diversification, and structural reforms support growth.
Non-oil trade reached a record Dh370 billion in the first half of 2025, significantly contributing to diversification. Foreign direct investment inflows also rose nearly 50 per cent last year to $45.6 billion, securing the UAE’s place among the world’s top ten recipients of FDI.
