The UAE shines as a leader in logistics and business favorability<\/strong><\/p>\n According to the recently released 2025 Agility Emerging Markets Logistics Index, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) stands out as an excellent place for business, surpassing many other emerging economies in logistics and digital readiness.<\/p>\n This year marks the 16th edition of the Index, which examines logistics capabilities across 50 countries. The UAE has improved its ranking by showcasing its strengths in both local and international logistics, the overall business environment, and readiness for digital transformation. The nation ranked in the top six in each of the four main categories assessed.<\/p>\n The Index highlights the UAE’s efforts in promoting public-private partnerships and its proactive approach to tackling climate change. It showcases improvements in customs efficiency, air and ocean transport connections, and initiatives that support startups and digital skills training, while also working to lower carbon emissions.<\/p>\n In the overall rankings, the UAE came in third, following China and India, which lead primarily due to their larger market sizes. “The UAE continues to close the gap with those ranked above it, underscoring the effectiveness of its investment strategies,” the report states.<\/p>\n Alongside the rankings, a survey of 567 logistics professionals revealed that over 62% have revamped their supply chains to address rising costs, potential trade tariffs, and signs of a looming global recession.<\/p>\n The findings suggest that the logistics sector is entering 2025 cautiously, with many companies bracing for increased costs and possible trade disruptions due to imminent U.S. tariffs and rising exports from China.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is a sense of unease among shippers, carriers, and other industry players regarding geopolitical issues that could drive up costs and affect trade flow,\u201d said Agility Vice Chairman Tarek Sultan. \u201cBusinesses are reassessing their production strategies as they look for stable growth opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n The 2025 Index also provides a detailed overview of the UAE and its neighbors in the Arabian Gulf. Together, the six Gulf countries are establishing themselves as key players in global trade by investing in infrastructure, artificial intelligence, energy transitions, and workforce development. Despite growing concerns about global supply chains, the UAE and its Gulf partners have emerged as “haunts of stability and resilience,” the report concludes.<\/p>\n While the higher-ranked countries remained steady, there were notable changes in the rankings further down. The top ten includes China, India, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Mexico, Qatar, Thailand, and Vietnam. Colombia made a significant leap upward, while Nigeria, Bangladesh, and Ukraine experienced declines.<\/p>\n In terms of business environment, the six Gulf countries ranked among the top 11. The UAE secured the highest position for the best business climate, with Saudi Arabia and Qatar in third and fifth place, respectively. For digital readiness, China, UAE, Malaysia, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia lead the pack.<\/p>\n KEY SURVEY FINDINGS<\/p>\n NATIONAL RANKINGS<\/p>\n The Agility Emerging Markets Logistics Index has been compiled by Transport Intelligence (Ti) since its inception in 2009.<\/p>\n Ti’s Chief Executive, John Manners-Bell, remarked, \u201cDespite facing global economic challenges and interruptions to shipping routes over the past year, the Gulf economies have demonstrated remarkable strength. Their focus on diversification, investment in transport, green energy initiatives, and major infrastructure projects has set the groundwork for continued growth. An improved security situation in the region will further enhance its role as a bridge between emerging superpowers and Western markets.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The UAE shines as a leader in logistics and business favorability According to the recently released 2025 Agility Emerging Markets Logistics Index, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) stands out as an excellent place for business, surpassing many other emerging economies in logistics and digital readiness.
