Dubai World releases new CD on Dubai's non-oil foreign trade

The CD is compiled and presented in an easy-to-access format and is designed to provide accurate and reliable statistics to government departments, corporate houses, and individuals.

Adel Al Ashram, Senior Manger, Statistics Department, Dubai World, said: 'Decision-makers, whether in the Government or in the corporate world always need information that is reliable and well-documented while planning their strategies. The Statistics Department of Dubai World has created a trustworthy database in this new CD, providing a clear picture of the investment and business environment of Dubai. Providing such statistical information is an important part of Dubai World's corporate duties.'

Using advanced technology to ensure efficient display of graphs, pie-charts and other visual aids, the CD is a valuable source of economic information on foreign trade, including values and sizes of imports, exports and re-exports through the different customs outlets in Dubai, including the free zones.
