Africa is rapidly emerging as a vital market for the UAE. Recognising the immense potential within the continent’s growing economies, the UAE has proactively invested $60 billion over the past decade – positioning itself as the fourth largest foreign investor on the continent and a vital conduit of capital into Africa. Concurrently, African countries increasingly view the UAE as a key export destination, with Abu Dhabi ranking among the top ten importers for over a dozen African markets and hosting more than 21,000 African companies. Premier Invest seeks to intermediate these South-Sourh trade flows by originating, advising, structuring, co-financing, distributing and transacting these trade assets on its platforms in Abu Dhabi hence facilitating trade, payments and collections.

With India's fast-growing economy and the UAE serving as a gateway to the Middle East and Africa, the relations between both countries have evolved into a strategic partnership in the past decade. Zubin Karkaria, Founder & CEO of VFS Global Group & India Global Forum Founders Circle Member, shares his insights in Gulf News, ahead of the 4th edition of the IGF Middle East and Africa forum.

How can a nation transform its economic landscape while empowering local businesses? The answer lies in the strategic implementation of In-Country Value (ICV) initiatives. GCC countries have been making significant strides in boosting their economies and diversifying revenue streams through ICV programs. By mandating a certain percentage of project value to be retained locally, these initiatives are not only driving GDP growth but also fostering a robust SME ecosystem. Oman, in particular, is experiencing a transformative journey. The Sultanate's ICV efforts are directly aligned with Oman Oman Vision 2040 رؤية عُمان aiming to build a diversified, knowledge-based economy. By creating opportunities for Omani SMEs (Authority for SME Development ) to participate in large-scale projects, the government is nurturing a generation of entrepreneurs and innovators. The ripple effects are undeniable. Increased local spending, job creation, and technology transfer are just a few benefits of ICV. As Oman continues to embrace this strategic approach, we can expect to witness a thriving business landscape and a more resilient economy. #ICV #OmanVision2040 #GCC #SME #EconomicGrowth #Business #Consultancy #Oman
