Dubai Chamber of Commerce has partnered with the Ministry of Economy to host a workshop aimed at equipping Business Council members with insights into the UAE’s Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements (CEPAs), which are designed to boost trade and investment.
Held under the umbrella of Dubai Chambers, the session brought together leaders and representatives from various Business Councils to explore how CEPAs can open new international opportunities for companies based in Dubai. The workshop focused on how these agreements enhance market access, cut customs duties, and streamline trade procedures.
Participants were briefed on the practical advantages CEPAs offer across sectors, including increased export and re-export potential and support for long-term global expansion. The agreements also reinforce the UAE’s position as a key gateway for global trade, backed by transparent regulations and fair competition.
Maha Al Gergawi, Vice President of Business Advocacy at Dubai Chambers, emphasized the chamber’s commitment to empowering the private sector through awareness initiatives.
“This initiative forms part of our ongoing efforts to raise awareness among the business community on the importance and strategic value of CEPA agreements,”
she said.
The Business Councils, which operate under the Dubai Chamber of Commerce, play a vital role in promoting bilateral trade and investment. By fostering ties between local companies and international markets, they help build strategic economic partnerships that align with the UAE’s broader economic diversification goals.
