The value of trade jumped from AED 5.5 billion in 2011 to AED 8.6 billion in 2020. Last year imports amounted to AED 3.7 billion, while exports and re-exports accounted for the rest.
The figures were revealed on the sidelines of a virtual meeting between Ahmed Mahboob Musabih, Director General of Dubai Customs, and a Dutch delegation headed by Hans Sandee, Consul General for Netherlands to Dubai.
