Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ) achieved its strongest performance to date in 2025, reinforcing Dubai’s status as one of the world’s leading centers for trade, investment, and innovation. The milestone was highlighted by UAE Deputy Prime Minister and Crown Prince of Dubai, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, who praised the authority’s achievements and its contribution to the emirate’s economic expansion.
According to official figures, non-oil trade conducted through DIEZ reached a record AED 491 billion during the year, representing a remarkable 46 percent increase compared to 2024. The achievement also accounted for approximately 16 percent of Dubai’s total non-oil trade, underscoring the growing importance of the authority’s economic zones in supporting the emirate’s diversification strategy.
DIEZ manages several of Dubai’s most significant business and technology hubs, including Dubai Airport Freezone, Dubai Silicon Oasis, and Dubai CommerCity. These zones continue to attract international companies, entrepreneurs, and investors by offering world-class infrastructure, business-friendly regulations, and access to global markets.
Sheikh Hamdan stated that the record-breaking results reflect the strength and resilience of Dubai’s economy, as well as the success of the emirate’s long-term vision for sustainable growth. He also commended DIEZ’s leadership and workforce for their efforts in enhancing Dubai’s competitiveness and reinforcing its position as a premier global destination for trade, technology, logistics, and business investment.
The latest figures further demonstrate Dubai’s ability to generate strong economic momentum despite global uncertainties, with non-oil sectors continuing to play a central role in driving growth and attracting international capital to the UAE.
