He added that the establishment of comprehensive and integrated legal frameworks is key to facilitating business across a wide range of economic activities and enhancing investor confidence both locally and internationally. This, in turn, fosters advanced governance that supports the growth and sustainability of companies of all sizes and forms.

Minister Al Marri stated that the UAE, guided by the vision of its leadership, has pursued a four-decade legislative journey to develop its Commercial Companies Law, adding that the aim is to ensure that legal provisions enable rather than constrain businesses and projects, serving as a dynamic that deliver competitive advantages, unlock opportunities, and open new horizons for future prosperity across economic sectors and business activities.

He explained that the Law has undergone a series of significant amendments, including updates to its provisions and the issuance of revised versions replacing earlier ones. This has established a flexible and contemporary legislative foundation aimed at increasing the number of companies in the UAE while continuously enhancing the legislative and business environment.

Today, the UAE is home to more than 1.4 million companies, including 250,000 established in 2025 alone, providing clear evidence of the vitality and dynamism of the country's business ecosystem, he noted.
