Speaking on the achievement, Suhail bin Mohammed Al Mazrouei, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure (MoEI), said, “We congratulate our wise leadership and everyone who contributed to the UAE’s prominent standing in global competitiveness rankings. Never one to rest on its laurels, the UAE will continue to forge ahead to become a successful model for sustainable development and prosperity.

“Leading in global indexes that are related to the mandates of the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure is a testament to the effectiveness of our approach that is underpinned by productive partnerships and collaboration to ensure the UAE is a global leader in the energy, infrastructure, transport, and housing sectors.”

Hassan Mohammed Al Mansouri, Undersecretary for Infrastructure and Transport Affairs at MoEI, said, “Securing a place among the top 10 in various global competitiveness indexes reflects the vision of our wise leadership and the relentless efforts of the work team. We all need to work hard, each in their position, to build on our achievements and attain excellence across the board.”

Sharif Al Olama, Undersecretary for Energy and Petroleum Affairs at MoEI, stated that this qualitative achievement adds to the country’s long track record of international recognition, adding, “It motivates us to exert more effort to support the government’s aspirations of the future and develop a culture of healthy competition in the workplace, as we aim to enhance the wellbeing of the UAE’s citizens and residents.”

Thanks to our leaders’ vision, competitiveness is no longer a theoretical concept, but is part and parcel of government work.
