Sharjah FDI projects surge 45% in 2025, Invest in Sharjah CEO says

Sharjah's foreign direct investment (FDI) projects surged by 45 per cent in 2025, according to Mohamed Juma Al Musharrkh, CEO of Invest in Sharjah. This growth underscores the emirate's competitiveness and the UAE's appeal to investors amid global capital's increasing selectivity. The rise in FDI projects was highlighted in an interview with WAM, alongside key economic shifts shaping Sharjah's future.

The ninth Sharjah Investment Forum, themed "Building Adaptive Economies," will convene over 80 global experts at the Al Jawaher Reception and Convention Centre on October 14th and 15th. Al Musharrkh emphasized that Sharjah's economic identity, rooted in production and knowledge, aligns with UAE's vision and provides investors with a stable environment for sustainable growth.

The CEO outlined four pillars underpinning the UAE's attractiveness to investors: economic diversification, a responsive legislative framework, a talented workforce, and early positioning in emerging sectors. Sharjah's strategic positioning and the UAE's economic framework position it as a leading destination for global investment.
