Strategic Focus and Promising Opportunities Drive UAE's Global Investment Agenda

Ranked as a leading investor in the Arab region and West Asia, and 15th globally, the UAE continues to seize emerging opportunities with strategic foresight. Al-Jarwan outlined the nation's focus on key markets, including India, Indonesia, ASEAN countries, Egypt, and Morocco, among others.

Noteworthy deals, including Apollo Global Management's acquisition of UniVar Solutions and Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec's stake in DP World, underscore the Emirates' strategic vision and commitment to fostering global economic growth.
