Member exports and re-exports reached AED 260 billion, up 16 per cent from last year. The chamber also issued more than 627,000 Certificates of Origin and processed goods worth AED 3.69 billion through 3,743 ATA Carnets.

It supported the international expansion of 90 local companies, marking a 20 per cent rise compared to 2024.

In addition, Dubai Chamber reviewed 42 draft laws with business groups, achieving a 64 percent adoption rate of private sector recommendations, and held more than 220 meetings with councils and groups to strengthen collaboration.

Legal awareness was also promoted through 25 seminars and workshops attended by over 1,700 participants, while mediation cases grew 11 per cent, exceeding AED 230 million in value.

The Dubai Centre for Family Businesses, operating under Dubai Chambers, launched new advisory services and issued the first directory of family business advisors.

It also graduated 29 participants from its management programme and hosted four governance events.

Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansoori, Chairman of Dubai Chambers, said these efforts reinforce Dubai’s position as a leading global centre for business and finance, supporting a competitive and sustainable economy.
