The UAE ranked first regionally for transport
The UAE ranked first regionally and 11th worldwide in transport infrastructure
The UAE was ranked 1st regionally and 11th globally in terms of the availability and quality of transport infrastructure by the Global Enabling Trade Report 2012 released by the World Economic Forum (WEF).
With this ranking the UAE outperforms countries such as the USA, Finland and Belgium.
Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Public Works, said the UAEs generous and carefully planned spending on infrastructure projects has resulted in advancing its global ranking in WEFs Global Enabling Trade Report 2012 and today we see the fruits of this approach.
Upon directives from President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan and His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the Ministry of Public Works continues to build road networks connecting the countrys cities to further boost the economy. Public spending on infrastructure by the UAE is the highest regionally. The availability and quality of infrastructure in the UAE contributes to the national economy and furthers our commitment to development in the country, he added.
The UAE was among the 17 economies who have 100 per cent of their road network paved. It also globally ranked 4th in terms of the quality of air transport infrastructure, sixth in terms of the quality of seaport infrastructure, and seventh in transhipment connectivity
The WEF report highlights other strong areas of performance reflecting the UAEs ongoing commitment to trade, including Border Administration (11th globally), Transport and Communications Infrastructure (18th globally), and Business Environment (12th internationally). The UAE tops the region in all these areas.
The Enabling Trade Index, published within the framework of the Global Competitiveness Network and the Supply Chain and Transportation Industry Partnership, was developed in consultation with key industry leaders, academics and international organisations in the trade arena and measures the extent to which economies have developed institutions, policies and services facilitating the free flow of goods over borders and to destinations. It assesses four key areas of performance, namely, market access, border administration, transport and telecommunications infrastructure and the business environment, and sub-indices within these broad areas. The index provides a yardstick of countries performance in creating enabling trade environments and pinpointing where improvements are most needed.
