00:00 The UAE is advancing despite the global challenges that are surrounding the extension chains and other disruptions.

00:08 The first half of foreign trade, other than oil, has grown significantly.

00:13 These figures are in line with what has been achieved in the last five years.

00:18 We will talk about the details.

00:20 First, we have an increase in foreign trade in the UAE by 14% or more than 14%

00:28 compared to the same period in the previous year.

00:30 As for the second half of the year, in 2022, the percentage recorded was 3%.

00:36 The number achieved is the trillion, with about 240 billion dirhams.

00:43 Exports grew by 11% on an annual basis.

00:47 We have another growth that exceeds 5% on the basis of the first half compared to the second half of the previous year.

00:55 These figures also show that imports have reached a 17% increase, and exports have also returned.

01:01 Exports have actually grown by more than 16% of all foreign trade in the UAE.

01:09 With these figures that were achieved during the first half, despite the global challenges surrounding it,

01:15 the UAE has set a target for the current year to reach non-oil foreign trade

01:22 of more than 2.5 trillion dirhams.

01:26 But what about the most prominent strategic and commercial partners of the UAE?

01:31 According to the first half figures, we are talking about the top five countries,

01:37 China, India, the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey.

01:40 Turkey is attracting attention here because the economic partnership agreement was signed

01:46 in the last period. We expect it to enter into effect in the coming period.

01:51 But despite the fact that this agreement has not yet entered into effect,

01:54 we have a growth of 87% on an annual basis, and it is in the first place among the highest growth rates

02:00 in international trade with the UAE, and represents about 4% of all foreign non-oil trade in the UAE.

02:09 Exports, of course, come at their peak in gold, aluminum, oil, and copper.

02:13 If we take gold, there is a 41% growth during the first half, approximately.

02:19 But what has supported these figures in the last period?

02:23 We have, of course, these movements for foreign trade in the UAE during the past four years.

02:29 In 2022, we achieved a historical level, we exceeded the levels of 2.2 trillion dirhams,

02:37 and therefore these figures are moving forward.

02:40 The UAE Vision aims to reach 4 trillion dirhams,

02:45 and to increase exports to 800 billion dirhams.

02:49 We had a number of innovations that have emerged in the last period,

02:53 including the integration of the UAE into the BRICS group,

02:56 and also the start of trade deals based on local currencies,

03:01 as was the case with the agreement with India.

03:04 There were also expectations or targets to sign about six joint agreements,

03:10 which were completed during the current year, and we witnessed an agreement with Cambodia.

03:15 These agreements reduce or liberate the BRICS,

03:19 and ultimately reflect the inflation that is being controlled in the last period in a good way.
