UAE has come out of the war ‘exceptionally well’, investment minister says

According to The National, UAE Minister of Investment Mohamed Alsuwaidi told Bloomberg Invest that the country has emerged from the war in an exceptionally strong economic position. He emphasized that the government is planning to open new sectors, particularly infrastructure projects, to foreign investors. The UAE is investing heavily in infrastructure, including new pipelines and ports designed to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. Despite missile and drone attacks on civilian and energy infrastructure following the conflict's outbreak in late February, the UAE's real GDP grew by 0.4 per cent in the first half of the year. Alsuwaidi noted that sectors such as AI, logistics, and air freight are booming, and the government is pursuing new capital models and public-private partnerships to fund large-scale projects.
