UAE hits record-breaking non-oil trade milestone in H1 2026
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum recently announced that the UAE has reached a landmark achievement in its economic journey, with non-oil foreign trade soaring to Dh1.937 trillion during the first half of 2026. This impressive figure, which nears the Dh2 trillion threshold, represents a robust 13.1% growth compared to the same period in the previous year.

This surge in trade highlights the country's rising influence on the global stage and reinforces the deepening confidence that international partners place in the UAE's thriving commercial landscape.
