Dubai: The Surprising Front-Runner for Foreign Direct Investment in the Middle East and North Africa

Dubai has emerged as a top destination for foreign direct investment, with a consistent annual growth in projects since 2020. Despite global downward trends, Dubai has continued to attract new foreign investment projects, according to reports from “FDI Intelligence” and the Dubai Foreign Direct Investment Observatory.

Between 2020 and 2023, Dubai welcomed 3,282 new foreign investment projects worth $33.42 billion (122.73 billion dirhams). In 2023, Dubai received the largest share of foreign direct capital inflows in the Emirates, amounting to $6.81 billion (25 billion dirhams). This accounted for approximately 81% of the total number of foreign investment projects in the Emirates.

In recent years, Dubai has established itself as a leader in the Middle East and North Africa region and third globally in terms of attracting foreign direct investment projects. In 2021, the estimated value of FDI capital inflows to Dubai surpassed $7.08 billion (26 billion dirhams), further solidifying its status as a premier destination for foreign investment. The success of Dubai’s economy is attributed to its strategic location at the crossroads of major trade routes and its modern infrastructure that makes it easy for businesses to operate in the region.
