Dubai World launches Dubai Trade CD for 2005

The CD, compiled by the Group's Statistics Department using state-of-the art designs and technology, is titled "Dubai External Trade Statistics 2005" and is aimed at meeting the ever-increasing demand for details on the Emirate's highly successful commercial relations with the rest of the world.

Adel Al Ashram, Senior Manager of the Statistics Department, said,

"The new CD uses search engine based technology, which facilitates finding information on bi-lateral trade between Dubai and the rest of the world extremely easy and efficient. Users can obtain detailed information on things like traded volumes of various goods, international customs tariff codes, classification of goods, all trade figures, free zone trades, customs store trades, diamonds and gold and the movements at Dubai Ports World for the year 2005."

He added: "We believe this will help potential investors within and outside the UAE to become more aware of trading trends in Dubai and will also assist them in accessing all trade statistics in digital format, in addition to guidance on the usage of the international customs tariff code system."

The authors of the CD have also drawn a map of the world, classifying countries based on imports, exports and re-exports.

Al Ashram said he is confident that "Dubai External Trade Statistics 2005" will live up to the expectations of its users.
