Empowering UAE women to forge a stronger investment journey – National Bonds and Arab Women Authority

Dubai, UAE: National Bonds, the nation’s leading savings and investment company, and Arab Women Authority, a leading NGO focused on empowering women in the MENA region, hosted a joint panel discussion on the importance of investing in the UAE, with a special emphasis on women. Bringing together prominent experts from the finance and real estate sectors, the panel served as a powerful platform to discuss the significance of investment in building a secure financial future for women in the country.

The UAE is experiencing a rise in female investors, with more women taking an interest in building their financial portfolios. Recent data from the Dubai Land Department (DLD) shows that 26,698 women have invested in real estate, contributing over AED 58.8 billion to the burgeoning sector. This growth has led to women currently owning 30% of the property in Dubai, according to a recent Dubai Government study. Emirati women have also reported profitable businesses, with over 23,000 currently running enterprises valued at AED 50 billion in the country.

Recognising the important role of women in the UAE's economic development, National Bonds and the Arab Women Authority are committed to further empowering women by promoting financial independence through saving and diversifying investments. The
