uae breaks into top 10 dhl report reveals surging global connectivity
UAE has achieved a remarkable milestone by securing the No. 8 spot among the world’s top 10 most connected countries, as revealed in DHL’s Global Connectedness Report. This significant leap underscores the nation’s unwavering commitment to enhancing global connectivity and fostering international trade.
DHL’s report highlights the UAE’s exceptional performance, marking the largest increase in connectedness since 2001 among 181 countries analyzed. This substantial advancement underscores the nation’s dedication to fortifying both physical and digital connectivity, positioning itself as a global hub for trade and commerce.
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, including the UAE, continue to maintain robust connectivity with the rest of the world. Notably, MENA ranks second in trade, emphasizing the region’s integral role in global trade networks, particularly in the oil trade and the growing influence of Gulf countries.
DHL’s Global Connectedness Report draws on extensive data points to provide a comprehensive overview of global connectivity, encompassing goods and services, capital, information, and people flows. The report’s methodology offers insights into the depth of globalization, highlighting the progress made while acknowledging the distance yet to be covered for a fully globalized world.
Despite facing global economic headwinds and political uncertainties, global flows have demonstrated remarkable resilience, outpacing domestic activity and expanding across greater distances. The Middle East, including the UAE, has capitalized on this resilience, accelerating digital connectivity to facilitate international trade and talent exchange.
Amadou Diallo, CEO of DHL Global Forwarding Middle East & Africa, commended the UAE’s commitment to expanding connectivity through technological advancements and national-level policies. The UAE’s strategic investments and proactive measures have played a pivotal role in fostering global trade and attracting top talent.
The report underscores a growing appetite for international expansion, with increased greenfield foreign direct investment (FDI) and publicly traded companies expanding their global footprint. Despite challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, international travel has rebounded, with the Middle East leading the recovery in international arrivals.
Contrary to speculations about a shift from globalization to regionalization, the report indicates that most international flows continue to occur over stable or longer distances. The UAE and the wider MENA region are actively forging new trade connections, contributing to and accelerating overall globalization efforts.
The UAE’s remarkable ascent to become one of the world’s top 10 most connected countries is a testament to its visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to fostering global connectivity. As the nation continues to spearhead initiatives to enhance international trade and connectivity, it reaffirms its position as a global leader in facilitating cross-border collaborations and driving economic growth.
