Dubai recorded Dhs551 billion worth of non-oil external trade in the first half of 2020. The emirate's ability to minimise the impact of the pandemic-induced global economic slowdown on its trading sector reflects its exceptional logistics infrastructure, which enabled it to maintain uninterrupted trade flows and a streamlined supply chain.

Imports accounted for Dhs320 billion, exports Dhs77 billion, and re-exports Dhs154 billion. A total volume of 44 million tonnes of goods were traded through Dubai including 30 million tonnes of imports, 8m tonnes of exports and 6m tonnes of re-exports.
