Dubai Retains №1 Global Ranking for Attracting Greenfield FDI Projects

 



Dubai, known for its dynamic business environment and strategic location, has once again secured its position as the world’s leading foreign direct investment (FDI) hub. According to the latest data from the 2022 Financial Times ‘fDi Markets’ report, Dubai has retained its №1 global ranking for attracting Greenfield FDI projects.

The emirate’s remarkable achievement is marked by a significant year-on-year growth of 89.5% in total announced FDI projects in 2022. Furthermore, total FDI capital witnessed a substantial surge of 80.3% over the same period. These impressive figures further solidify Dubai’s status as one of the top three global cities.

This outstanding accomplishment aligns perfectly with the goals set forth in the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. The agenda aims to position Dubai as a leading global city across various economic sectors.

Dubai’s ability to attract and retain Greenfield FDI projects can be attributed to several key factors. First and foremost is its strategic location, serving as a gateway between East and West, providing easy access to markets in the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Asia. The emirate’s world-class infrastructure, state-of-the-art facilities, and investor-friendly policies also play a crucial role in attracting global investors.

The business-friendly environment in Dubai, characterized by political stability, strong legal frameworks, and a supportive government, fosters an atmosphere conducive to foreign investment. Additionally, the emirate’s commitment to innovation, technology, and sustainability has positioned it as an attractive destination for companies looking to establish their presence in the region.

Dubai’s success in attracting Greenfield FDI projects has a positive ripple effect on the local economy. It brings in new investments, creates employment opportunities, fosters knowledge transfer, and drives innovation and development across various sectors.

As Dubai continues to prioritize sustainable growth and economic diversification, it is well-positioned to capitalize on its global reputation as a leading business hub. The emirate’s relentless pursuit of excellence, coupled with its unwavering commitment to creating a favorable business environment, cements its status as a preferred destination for global investors.

In conclusion, Dubai’s retention of the №1 global ranking for attracting Greenfield FDI projects reaffirms its standing as a premier global business destination. The emirate’s remarkable growth in FDI projects and capital showcases the confidence that investors have in Dubai’s economic stability and growth potential. With its strategic vision, exceptional infrastructure, and commitment to sustainability, Dubai continues to shape the future of global investment and remains at the forefront of economic progress.

  Dubai Police  is breaking gender stereotypes with its progressive approach to recruitment and promotion. Traditionally, law enforcement has been a male-dominated field, with women facing many obstacles to their participation. However, in recent years, Dubai Police has made significant strides in promoting gender equality in the workplace. One of the most significant changes has been the recruitment of women into the police force. In 2019, Dubai Police announced that it had achieved a gender balance of 50/50 in its workforce, with women making up 20% of the police force.
