Gulf Trading Hubs See Record New Company Registrations
Dubai and Abu Dhabi reported record new trading company registrations as businesses seek Middle East operational bases and tax efficiency.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi reported a combined 12,400 new trading company registrations in the past twelve months, a record high driven by European companies seeking geographic diversification and tax-efficient operational structures. The UAE offers zero corporate tax on qualifying income, world-class logistics infrastructure, and strategic geographic positioning between Europe and Asia. Jebel Ali Free Zone alone welcomed over 2,800 new trading companies. For established trading companies, the UAE structure offers significant advantages as European regulations tighten and firms seek compliant structures for Gulf and Asia expansion.
