emirates7 - Dubai Chamber of Commerce, one of the three chambers under Dubai Chambers, has reported its key achievements for the first half of 2025.
Between January and June, the chamber registered 35,532 new member companies, reflecting a 4% year-on-year (YoY) increase. The total value of members’ exports and re-exports reached AED171.9 billion, up 18% from the same period in 2024.
In H1 2025, the chamber issued 409,083 Certificates of Origin, marking a 10% annual rise, and processed 2,961 ATA Carnets for goods valued at around AED1.94 billion.
Eng. Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansoori, Chairman of Dubai Chambers, credited these results to the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, noting that Dubai’s integrated business ecosystem continues to boost investor confidence and reinforce the emirate’s standing as a global hub for trade and investment. He emphasized the chamber’s commitment to supporting local businesses through a business-friendly regulatory environment, fostering growth in priority sectors, and strengthening public-private partnerships in line with the D33 Agenda.
The chamber also helped 60 local companies expand into international markets during H1 2025, a 76% jump from 34 companies in the same period last year. Through its New Horizons initiative, it organized trade missions to Thailand, the Philippines, Angola, and Mozambique, resulting in 1,076 B2B meetings between Dubai-based businesses and counterparts in these markets.
On the policy front, the chamber reviewed 27 laws and draft laws with Business Groups, achieving a 60% adoption rate for private sector recommendations—up from 46% in H1 2024. It also held 98 meetings with Business Groups and Councils, more than doubling the figure from last year, and launched five new Business Councils representing investors from Brazil, Slovakia, Peru, Indonesia, and Hungary.
In addition, the chamber hosted 19 legal events attended by 1,414 business community members, focusing on legislative updates. It also received 94 mediation cases worth over AED213.5 million, representing 19% annual growth.
