Dubai continues to strengthen its position as one of the world’s most dynamic business centres, and the latest economic indicators show why companies are reassessing their growth strategies. The UAE’s non-oil private sector recorded its fastest improvement in business conditions since December 2024 in August 2026, with the S&P Global Purchasing Managers’ Index rising from 52.7 in July to 55.3. Stronger new orders, rising output and improving export activity point to renewed confidence across the economy.
