The United Arab Emirates posted a remarkable 24% rise in non-oil foreign trade during the first half of 2025 -- outpacing the global average of just 1.75% -- underscoring the country’s rapid economic diversification and deepening international trade ties.
In a statement shared on X, UAE Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum said the country’s non-oil trade reached 1.7 trillion dirhams in the first half of the year -- double the volume recorded just five years ago.
He added that trade with key partners surged at record rates, including a 120% jump with Switzerland, 41% with Turkey, 33% with India, 29% with the United States, and 15% with China.
