The UAE’s economy is projected to expand by 5 to 6% in 2025, driven by strong performance in key sectors, according to Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri, the Minister of Economy.
Speaking to the Emirates News Agency (WAM) at the World Governments Summit in Dubai, Al Marri highlighted that sectors such as technology, renewable energy, trade, financial services, and infrastructure will play a crucial role in sustaining growth.
Between 2021 and 2024, the country’s GDP saw an average growth of 4.8%, with non-oil industries growing at 6.2%. He noted that non-oil sectors now account for 75% of the UAE’s GDP, aligning with the “We the UAE 2031” vision of economic diversification.
Al Marri underscored the country’s ability to maintain steady expansion, outpacing even some developed economies. He also emphasized the UAE’s strategic priorities, including circular and space economies, fostering emerging industries, and strengthening international trade partnerships to attract more foreign investment.
