UAE tops foreign investment race
Recent data showed that the UAE topped the foreign direct investment attraction index in 2025, showcasing its success in attracting new investment projects that exceeded expectations relative to its economic size. The UAE continued to diversify its economy away from oil, attracting more than half of the projects in the business services, technology, and financial services sectors, strengthening its position as a regional hub for global companies. However, with investment flows declining after increased geopolitical tensions in 2026, other countries like Egypt emerged, climbing 13 spots in the rankings, highlighting that attracting investment has become more dependent on the ease of doing business and political stability rather than just the size of the economy.
