UAE attracts $45.6 billion in FDI in 2024, ranks in world's top 10

The UAE ranked among the world's top 10 destinations for foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2024, as inflows surged by nearly 49 per cent to reach $45.6 billion (Dh167.6 billion), up from $30.68 billion the previous year, according to a United Nations report. The World Investment Report 2025, released on Thursday by the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), revealed that the UAE climbed from 13th place in 2023 to 10th place in the latest global ranking. The UAE accounted for a dominant 55.6 per cent of total FDI inflows into the Middle East, which received $82.08 billion in 2024 – an increase from $78.39 billion the previous year. Other major recipients in the region included Saudi Arabia ($15.73 billion), Türkiye ($10.59 billion), and Oman ($8.68 billion). 'A strong rebound of flows in the UAE helped lift sub-regional figures, even as flows to Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Cooperation Council countries declined,' the UN report stated. The UAE's outward FDI also saw moderate growth, rising by 4.8 per cent to reach $23.4 billion in 2024. Globally, FDI rose marginally by four per cent to $1.51 trillion, up from $1.45 trillion in the previous year. However, UNCTAD noted that this figure was inflated by volatile flows through conduit economies. When adjusted for these factors, global FDI declined by 11 per cent – marking the second consecutive year of decline. 'Productive FDI fell by 11 per cent in 2024, continuing a downward trend,' warned UNCTAD Secretary-General Rebeca Grynspan. 'This is not just a downturn – it's a pattern.' Despite the overall decline, the United States remained the largest global recipient of FDI and led in both greenfield project announcements and international project finance (IPF) deals. Other top destinations included Brazil, Egypt, the UAE, Mexico, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Greenfield investment activity was especially strong in India and the UAE, while IPF deals were concentrated in a few mature markets and large emerging economies, the report added.

PIF launches Expo 2030 Riyadh Company to build landmark giant World Expo site

Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) has announced the establishment of Expo 2030 Riyadh Company (ERC), a wholly owned entity tasked with developing, operating, and sustaining Saudi Arabia's first World Expo — Expo 2030 Riyadh. The Expo, set to run from October 1, 2030 to March 31, 2031, will take place on a vast 6 million square metre site north of Riyadh, near the upcoming King Salman International Airport. Strategically connected to the city's major landmarks, the Expo site is positioned to become a future-facing, multicultural destination aligned with Saudi Vision 2030. PIF launches Expo 2030 Riyadh Company Key highlights from the Expo 2030 Riyadh project: More than 40m visits expected during the Expo event Estimated $64bn contribution to Saudi Arabia's GDP during construction phases Around 171,000 direct and indirect jobs projected to be created Post-event GDP contribution expected to be $5.6bn annually Participating countries can construct permanent pavilions, ensuring long-term investment potential Plans to transform the Expo site into a global village, integrating retail, F&B, sustainable tourism, and a world-class residential community Saad Alkroud, Head of the Local Real Estate Investment Division at PIF said: 'ERC benefits from PIF's diverse local and global ecosystem and the establishment of the company aligns with PIF's local real estate strategy, which drives economic transformation and diversification, advancing urban innovation and enhancing quality of life, driven by the ambitious goals of Saudi Vision 2030.' Following Riyadh's successful bid to host the World Expo — secured in the first round of voting in November 2024 — ERC is already fast-tracking operations. The company will collaborate with both local and international private sector partners to deliver on construction, cultural programming, and operational readiness. The legacy-focused approach of Expo 2030 Riyadh reflects PIF's broader mandate: to catalyse Saudi Arabia's economic diversification, generate sustainable returns, and establish transformative giga-projects that shape the future of the global economy. As one of the largest World Expo sites in history, Expo 2030 Riyadh is set to cement the Saudi capital's position as a leading global business, culture, and innovation hub.
