The United Arab Emirates topped the list of countries chosen by the directors of British companies for doing business. This indicates the growing attractiveness of the UAE as a key economic partner for the United Kingdom. Business leaders note the favorable investment climate, political stability, and developed infrastructure of the country. "The UAE has become a strategic entry point for us into the Middle East market, " said one of the directors. "There is a unique combination of opportunities and government support here." Experts link this trend with the active development of free economic zones and bilateral trade agreements.
