Abu Dhabi's non-oil foreign trade jumped 35% in first half on economic diversification
Abu Dhabi's non-oil foreign trade in the first half of this year jumped 34.7 per cent annually to Dh195.4 ($53.2 billion) as the emirate's economy continues to expand amid diversification efforts and government drives. Exports during the period grew by 64 per cent to Dh78.5 billion, while imports rose by 15 per cent to Dh80 billion, and re-exports registered a 35 per cent increase to exceed Dh36 billion, Abu Dhabi Media Office said on Sunday citing Abu Dhabi Customs' statistics. 'The growth in non-oil foreign trade during the first half of 2025 reflects the success of Abu Dhabi's economic strategies, and highlights the effectiveness of efforts made by Abu Dhabi Customs, in collaboration with strategic partners, to facilitate trade,' said Rashed Al Mansoori, director general of the general administration of Abu Dhabi Customs. 'These efforts are driven by the adoption of advanced systems, innovations, and digital technologies.' Abu Dhabi's economy expanded by 3.8 per cent annually in 2024 to reach an all-time high value of Dh1.2 trillion, state news agency Wam reported in May. The emirate's non-oil sector during the 12-month period grew 6.2 per cent to Dh644.3 billion, marking its highest annual contribution yet to the total gross domestic product at 54.7 per cent, Wam said, quoting data from the Statistics Centre – Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi has continued its shift away from oil and has taken several measures to attract international investors, boost its competitiveness and improve the ease of conducting business. In 2022, the emirate launched an industrial strategy to improve the contribution of the sector to the economy, by investing Dh10 billion across six programmes to more than double the emirate's manufacturing to Dh172 billion by 2031. Abu Dhabi also plans to boost the tourism sector's contribution to its GDP to 12 per cent by 2030, from 5 per cent in 2023. It has also laid out long-term strategies to further develop sectors including aviation and technology, with new investments in artificial intelligence. The increase in non-oil foreign trade underscores the strength of Abu Dhabi's economic diversification strategies and significant investments across key sectors. These efforts collectively support the emirate's growth as a leading regional and global trade and logistics hub, Abu Dhabi Customs said. Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi, chairman of Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development, said the emirate is increasing efforts to position the UAE's capital city among the world's most business-ready economies by 'streamlining trade procedures, deploying smart systems, and integrating services to enhance flow and accelerate efficiency'. This will help cement Abu Dhabi's position as a global trade and investment centre, and a key node on international supply chains, Mr Al Zaabi added. The UAE is signing new trade agreements that are helping it to boost trade with partner states around the globe. It has already signed 28 Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements (Cepas), with the latest deal signed with Azerbaijan last month. Ten of these deals – with India, Indonesia, Israel, Turkey, Cambodia, Georgia, Costa Rica, Mauritius, Serbia and Jordan – have been implemented and are operational, according to data from the Ministry of Foreign Trade. Agreements with other trading partners – Australia, South Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Chile, Colombia, Kenya, Ukraine, Vietnam, Central African Republic, the Republic of Congo, Eurasia, Belarus and Azerbaijan – are yet to be implemented. Talks have also concluded with the Philippines, Morocco and Armenia.

Abu Dhabi: Employee wins Dh50,930 in unpaid wages, along with return flight ticket
The Abu Dhabi Labour Court has ruled a case in favour of an employee involving unpaid salaries, dismissal without proper notice, and other employment-related claims. The First Instance Court ordered the employer to pay the worker Dh50,930, along with Dh1,500 for a return flight ticket to his home country and an experience certificate. In the court case, the employee claimed that his employer failed to pay his salary from October 1, 2024, until the end of his employment on April 5, 2025. He also requested compensation for unfair dismissal, lack of notice, unused annual leave, and a return flight to his home country. The employer denied these claims and, in a counterclaim, demanded Dh12,200, stating the employee had collected payments for invoices but failed to hand over the money. The court appointed an accounting expert to verify the claims. Based on the evidence and testimonies, the court ruled: Delayed salaries: The employee was awarded Dh43,167 for unpaid wages between October 1, 2024, and April 5, 2025. Notice period compensation: The court found the termination violated UAE labour law and awarded Dh7,000 as compensation for lack of notice. Annual leave: The employee was awarded Dh770 for unused leave. Travel ticket: The court granted Dh1,500 or the cost of a one-way economy-class ticket to the employee's home country, unless he joins another employer. Experience certificate: The court instructed the employer to provide the worker with a certificate of experience. The court rejected the request for 12 per cent interest on the unpaid amount due to the absence of a prior agreement and ruled there was no evidence of unfair dismissal caused by a complaint or legal action. In the employer's counterclaim, the court ruled in favour of the company, ordering the employee to pay Dh12,200 after accepting sworn testimony that he had collected payments and failed to hand them over. In the final judgement, the court ruled that the employer must pay the worker Dh50,930, Dh1,500 for a return travel ticket and also an experience certificate. Each party to bear their own legal costs related to their claims.
