In the first nine months of 2026, the UAE’s foreign trade reached a record high of nearly Dhs3 trillion, up 10% from the same period last year, as confirmed by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
Despite fluctuations in global markets, the UAE’s continued dedication to establishing itself as a critical international trade hub was underscored by these results in a year marked by economic and political obstacles and rapid shifts in global trade dynamics.
He said the UAE continues to respond to surrounding developments with flexibility and efficiency, leveraging its extensive trade network and ability to adapt to global economic shifts. This has increased the competitiveness of its foreign trade and opened new prospects for its exports.
He added that the UAE is committed to strengthening its status as a global centre for trade, business, and investment by expanding its export markets, strengthening its network of relationships with trade partners, and accelerating its path toward sustainable economic growth.
