Dubai Remains Global Leader in Greenfield FDI Projects

Dubai Leads Global Greenfield FDI Projects for Fourth Consecutive Year

Dubai has once again secured its position as the world’s top destination for Greenfield Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) projects for the fourth year in a row, as reported by fDi Markets, a service from the Financial Times Ltd.

The UAE’s Crown Prince, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defense, and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, announced this milestone on his official X account, highlighting the emirate’s outstanding track record of drawing in foreign investment.
In 2024, 1,117 Greenfield FDI projects totaling over Dh52 billion were completed in Dubai, a 33% increase from the year before. Additionally, the emirate announced 1,826 FDI projects, an 11% increase over 2023. This steady growth demonstrates how Dubai is attracting investors and companies from all around the world.

Sheikh Hamdan credited His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s strategic leadership, which has boosted Dubai’s standing internationally, stimulated economic growth, and fostered innovation, for this accomplishment. The aforementioned accomplishments align with the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, which seeks to position the emirate as one of the most prosperous urban economies globally.

Strong economic policies, a thriving business community, and investor confidence have all contributed to Dubai’s continued high rating and solidified position as a top international investment destination.
