UAE ‘surpassing Hong Kong’, challenging Singapore for global trade crown
The UAE is eclipsing Hong Kong and rapidly emerging as a rival to Singapore as a premier global trading hub. Driven by an aggressive post-pandemic strategy of "economic statecraft," the nation’s non-oil trade reached $1.03 trillion in 2025, hitting its 2031 targets six years ahead of schedule.
By maintaining a non-aligned stance that balances Western partnerships with a role as a hub for diverse capital flows, the UAE has attracted significant global investment and talent.
Dubai-based DP World now rivals Hong Kong’s Hutchison Ports and is positioned to challenge Singapore’s PSA International for global leadership in port operations.
Beyond logistics, the UAE is investing heavily in AI to secure a first-mover advantage in the next frontier of trade technology.
