UAE enabling growth through pragmatic policies: Al Jaber

Delivering the keynote address at the opening ceremony of the 41st edition of ADIPEC, the world’s largest energy event, Dr Al Jaber said the UAE's pragmatic approach proves how policy grounded in reality builds investor confidence and explained that the country is a model for credible, technology-driven, investment-friendly policy solutions.

He said, “Here in the UAE, our approach optimises energy, attracts capital, advances technology and works with industry on practical policy solutions. Global capital continues to flow into the UAE because Investors value credibility, appreciate predictability and put a premium on trust. All are found in Abu Dhabi and across the UAE.”

The lesson, he said is that policies should be “pragmatic, not performative, based on insight, not ideology, built on first principles, not fleeting popularity. Regulation without realism and legislation without logic, will only weaken economies, stunt societies and drive capital away.”
