A total of 8897 companies joined as members within the first six months of the year, while it saw its new membership increase by 10.9 percent year on year. Hamad Buamim, President and CEO of Dubai Chamber, highlighted Dubai's rapid progress on implementing its economic diversification plans, and noted that the new figures from the Chamber confirms the crucial contribution of the emirate's trade sector to this strategy. He explained that the growth in member exports came despite challenging global economic conditions, and added that Dubai-based companies have taken a pro-active approach to exploring trade and investment opportunities in promising markets around the world. Saudi Arabia was the top export and re-export market for Dubai Chamber members with a value of AED51.9 billion. This figure reflects an18 percent growth rate compared to the same period last year when it stood at AED44 billion.
