Dubai's non-oil foreign trade reaches Dh1.3 trillion in 2016
Imports took the lion's share at Dh803 billion
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and
Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, said that Dubai's non-oil foreign trade
in 2016 reached Dh1.276 trillion despite the global slowdown.
Sheikh Hamdan said the value of Dubai's external trade rose 70 per cent from
Dh754 billion in 2009 to Dh1.276 trillion in 2016.
He said: "We have achieved this growth despite the credit crunch in 2008
that hit the world's economies. The achievement underscores the emirate's
strong standing in the global trading landscape."
Imports took the lion's share at Dh803 billion, while re-exports and exports
accounted for Dh330 billion and Dh143 billion respectively.
While China maintained its position as Dubai's leading trading partner with
Dh166 billion in two-way trade (13 per cent of total trade), India came
second at Dh94 billion (7.4 per cent of total trade), followed by the US at
Dh86 billion (6.7 per cent of total trade).
Saudi Arabia maintained its position as the top Arab and GCC trading partner
and fourth globally with Dh52 billion (4.1 per cent) of total trade. Germany
stood fifth at Dh50 billion (3.9 per cent of total trade).
Sheikh Hamdan said Dubai was able to diversify its foreign trade despite
fluctuations in international trade in 2016, a slump in global markets and a
decline in basic commodity prices.
"Thanks to the vision of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan, and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum,
Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, we are
moving swiftly towards a 'post-oil UAE'. We are further diversifying our
economy and attracting more investment," the Dubai Crown Prince added.
Dubai saw an 8.2 per cent surge in the total bulk weight of traded goods in
2016, rising to 92 million tonnes of commodities from 85 million in 2015.
Direct trade amounted for Dh830 billion (65 per cent of Dubai's total
trade), followed by free zone trade at Dh411.44 billion (32 per cent) and
customs warehouse trade at Dh34.76 billion (three per cent).
In terms of shipment and freight transport, air cargo accounted for Dh592
billion representing 46 per cent of Dubai's total trade while sea freight
contributed Dh452 billion (35 per cent), and inland trade Dh232 billion (18
per cent).
The growth in trading of mobile phones and communication devices was a key
feature of Dubai's foreign trade. Phones and communication devices
represented the most traded commodity with a total value of Dh167 billion
representing approximately 13.1 per cent of Dubai's total trade. Gold came
second at Dh156 billion (12 per cent), followed by diamonds at Dh97 billion
(7.6 per cent), and jewellery in fourth place at Dh63 billion (4.9 per
cent). Automobiles came fifth accounting for Dh60 billion (4.7 per cent).
