UAE’s Historic Economic Leadership
The UAE’s top position is a landmark moment for the Gulf region, surpassing traditionally strong economies like Switzerland, Germany, and Canada. Strategically located on the southeastern Arabian Peninsula, the UAE leverages its geographical advantages and forward-looking economic strategies to maintain a solid financial foundation.
With a population of 9.52 million and a GDP of $504 billion, the UAE enjoys a high per capita purchasing power of $83,903. Its economic stability stems from a deliberate diversification away from oil, developing thriving sectors including tourism, real estate, financial services, and technology. Advanced infrastructure, investor-friendly policies, and strategic location between Oman and Saudi Arabia have made the UAE a global business hub.
