Dubai's economy has been on an upward trajectory in recent years, with the latest data from the emirate's statistics centre showing that the economy expanded by 4.6 percent on an annual basis in the first nine months of 2022. Wholesale and retail trade played a key role in this growth, accounting for 24.1 percent of the emirate's gross domestic product.

This is a testament to the resilience of the local economy and the strength of its private sector.

Dubai's economy has been undergoing a transformation in recent years, with the government taking steps to diversify away from its reliance on oil. The emirate has been investing heavily in sectors such as tourism, real estate, and technology, and the latest data suggests that these investments are paying off.

The emirate's strategic location, world-class infrastructure, and business-friendly environment have made it a hub for trade and commerce in the region. The latest data shows that businesses in these sectors are still thriving and contributing significantly to the emirate's economic growth.

Dubai's continued economic growth is good news for businesses and investors in the emirate. The government's efforts to diversify the economy and attract foreign investment are bearing fruit, and the emirate remains a highly attractive destination for businesses looking to expand in the region.

In conclusion, the latest data from Dubai's statistics centre confirms that the emirate's economy is continuing to grow and diversify. Wholesale and retail trade remain key drivers of growth, and the emirate's private sector is demonstrating its strength and resilience in the face of adversity. With Dubai's strategic location and business-friendly environment, the emirate is well-positioned to continue its economic growth and attract more investment in the years ahead.
