    Dubai, UAE – Dubai Chamber of Commerce, one of the three chambers operating under the umbrella of Dubai Chambers, has announced details of several notable achievements during the first half of 2024. The chamber’s continuing strong performance reflects the positive impact of its drive to advance Dubai’s economic development and achieve the ambitions of the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33).

    A total of 34,075 new companies joined as members of Dubai Chamber of Commerce during H1 2024, representing year-over-year (YoY) growth of 5%. The figures reflect the dynamism of Dubai’s business environment and the emirate’s high levels of competitiveness in attracting foreign direct investment.

    The value of members’ exports and re-exports during H1 2024 amounted to AED 145.9 billion, representing a YoY growth of 6.7%.

In addition, 2,433 ATA Carnets were issued and received, with a combined value of around AED 1.6 billion.

    His Excellency Abdul Aziz Abdulla Al Ghurair, Chairman of Dubai Chambers, commented: “The chamber’s activity during the first half of the year reflects the emirate’s growing position as a global capital for business, trade, and investment in line with the goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33), which seeks to promote the growth of foreign trade and enhance the competitiveness of the private sector.”

    His Excellency added: “The vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, guides all of our efforts. The increasing number of new members joining the chamber and the growing exports and re-exports of members are the result of our various initiatives aimed at achieving our strategic priorities of enhancing Dubai’s favourable business environment, strengthening partnerships between the public and private sectors, attracting foreign direct investments, and supporting the international expansion of Dubai-based companies.”

    The chamber received 79 mediation cases during H1 2024, representing YoY growth of 5.3% compared to the 75 cases received in the same period last year.
