The UAE<\/strong> saw its non-oil foreign trade grow 13.8% y-o-y in 2024<\/strong>, surpassing AED 2.8 tn<\/strong>, according to the Central Bank of the UAE\u2019s annual report (pdf)<\/a>. Non-oil exports grew 29.3% y-o-y, while re-exports grew by 3.8%, and imports climbed by 13.5%. The performance comes on the back of an expansion in the UAE\u2019s trade and economic agreements with several countries last year. <\/p>\n

China was the UAE\u2019s largest trading partner<\/strong>, accounting for 11.5% of total trade, followed by India at 8.5%, and Saudi Arabia at 5.4%. Key traded commodities included gold, telecommunication equipment, and motor vehicles.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi\u2019s non-oil foreign trade grew 9% y-o-y to AED 306 bn last year<\/strong>, according to an Abu Dhabi Customs <\/span>press release<\/a>.
