Dubai and the UAE continue to be among the world’s most dynamic sources of outbound investment. In 2025, UAE investors expanded their global footprint to over 90 countries, with total international investments estimated at more than $2.5 trillion. Capital flows span across real estate, technology, infrastructure, energy, and strategic industries, reflecting a deliberate focus on diversification and long-term growth.

High-net-worth individuals and family offices from Dubai and other emirates are increasingly seeking opportunities abroad. In real estate, for example, Emirati investors have participated in high-profile projects in the UK, including London developments totaling hundreds of millions of dollars, and in emerging markets across Africa and Asia, targeting infrastructure and industrial projects.

The main drivers are portfolio diversification, access to new growth markets, and strategic expansion. Europe (Portugal, Greece), Asia (Singapore), and the Americas/Caribbean remain particularly attractive, offering both high-yield investment opportunities and residency/citizenship programs. This trend shows that UAE capital is not just locally focused but actively shaping global markets, creating shared, mutually beneficial opportunities for international businesses.
