00:00 Today, the UAE is the 11th country in the world in exporting products
00:08 and the 12th country in the world in exporting services.
00:12 These are active contributions to the global economy.
00:16 The report also highlights the trade opportunities in the Asian continent
00:22 with companies in countries like China and India that have great opportunities for foreign trade.
00:32 But how does the UAE support exports?
00:36 The UAE supports UAE companies in several areas.
00:43 We always focus on supporting medium and large companies in promoting their foreign trade.
00:52 We provide them with solutions to ensure foreign trade.
00:56 Our company, the Export Trust, has access to information.
01:06 As I mentioned, we have more than 300 million international companies.
01:11 We can link these information to the various risks, whether political, economic or technical,
01:21 in addition to the buyers' credit rating for these companies.
01:28 Third, we work with international trust agencies from all over the world.
01:34 All international trust agencies try to reach local companies to international ones.
01:40 There are international projects that are covered by international trust agencies.
01:47 Any project that we, as the Export Trust, try to work with,
01:52 we always try to get companies from the UAE to take part in these international projects.
01:59 With the changes that the global economy is facing, and also some geopolitical challenges,
02:05 have you noticed any changes in the companies that you provide support to?
02:10 As you know, there are markets where trade is growing.
02:21 These markets, specifically in the UAE, are focused on India, Turkey and Indonesia.
02:29 These are countries with huge economies and opportunities to import goods from these countries
02:38 to export goods to the UAE.
02:41 We have a great opportunity to link the UAE exporters with the UAE importers.
02:46 These three countries that we focus on today have huge economies.
02:52 If we can reach our UAE companies, we will open a direct trade door with these countries.
03:00 Of course, there are risks in many countries.
03:05 Some countries did not pay for large projects that were provided by large companies.
03:14 But, thank God, we were able to guarantee more than 8 billion AED for UAE companies in 112 countries.
03:22 This is an achievement that we are proud of in the United Nations.
