Statistics in the UAE: Decades of Achievements
Since its inception with the formation of the Union, the UAE’s statistical work has recorded numerous qualitative achievements in building an advanced statistical system that keeps pace with the latest global standards. The first decade of this journey, from 1971 to 1981, marked the beginning of the need to establish a planning and statistical system to support the construction of the new state. This period witnessed the establishment of the federal planning structure, the formulation of an initial vision for the UAE’s developmental policies, and the launch of the first general census of population and establishments nationwide in 1975.
The second decade of the UAE’s statistical journey, from 1982 to 1991, focused on transforming oil revenues into measurable indicators within development plans. This was achieved by providing comprehensive databases for urban and economic planning, issuing annual reports and development-supporting studies, and expanding the implementation of federal census programs in 1980 and 1985.
During the third decade, from 1992 to 2001, the UAE adopted the approach of “comprehensive and balanced development” and regional planning across the seven emirates to enhance transparency and evaluate developmental performance. During this period, the country also participated regionally in several meetings, including those of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA).
Institutionalizing Statistics
The fourth decade, from 2002 to 2011, marked the true beginning of institutionalizing statistical work in the UAE and linking federal development plans with economic policies. This was achieved through updating the methods of presenting and publishing statistical and economic data and establishing the Supreme Committee for Coordinating Joint Statistical Work at the national level for the first time. These efforts helped enhance global competitiveness indicators based on statistics and data. During this period, the UAE also made its first representation at the United Nations Statistical Commission meetings in 2011.
Decade of Culmination and Leadership
Upon reaching its fifth decade in 2012, extending to the present, the UAE’s statistical system crowned its journey with numerous fruitful initiatives and achievements. This period marked a turning point in the country’s statistical history and the beginning of a new era of statistical transformation, during which the national statistical system shifted from censuses and fieldwork to proactive analysis and impact creation. This transformation solidifies the UAE’s leadership as a country that shapes the future through data, positioning statistics as a central pillar in achieving the nation’s development journey under the “We the UAE 2031” vision, leading up to the UAE Centennial 2071.
During its fifth decade, the UAE also joined the United Nations Statistical Commission for the 2025–2028 term, supporting its contribution to leading global statistical thinking and actively participating in decisions regarding international statistical activities. During this period, H.H. Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister, and Chairman of the Presidential Court, launched the “Unified UAE Numbers” project, one of the national initiatives aimed at developing and enhancing the national statistical system and supporting the country’s progress across various economic, demographic, social, and environmental sectors. Additionally, the UAE government launched the Data Index, designed according to best practices and global standards in statistics and data management, with the aim of enhancing governmental performance efficiency and measuring progress in national data governance. The UAE also hosts the regional headquarters of the United Nations Big Data Platform for Sustainable Development.
A New Phase

- 35% reduction in the UAE’s consumption of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) over the past decade.
- The reduction reflects the UAE’s commitment to the Vienna Convention and the Montreal Protocol on ozone-depleting substances.
- The UAE is among the first countries to fulfill its commitment to fully ban consumption of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons since 2010.
The United Arab Emirates has successfully outpaced the internationally set timeline for the gradual phasing out of ozone-depleting substances, reaffirming its leading role in environmental action at both the national and global levels. The UAE has successfully banned the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons since 2010 and has achieved a 35% reduction in hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) consumption over the past ten years.
Latest figures from the Federal Competitiveness and Statistics Centre (FCSC) highlight that the consistent progress in curbing the use of substances that harm the ozone layer reflects the UAE’s commitment to their gradual phase-out. These substances cause harm to the ozone layer, and their reductions demonstrate the UAE’s steadfast commitment to the global framework of agreements and protocols aimed at eliminating such substances within set timelines, with a complete phase-out scheduled for 2040.
The UAE has been a pioneer in supporting global efforts to protect the ozone layer, having joined the Vienna Convention and the Montreal Protocol in 1989, including all its amendments, such as the Kigali Amendment of 2016, which aims to reduce the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), substances that do not deplete the ozone layer but contribute to global warming.
In line with these commitments, the UAE has progressively eliminated ozone-depleting chemicals, including chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons such as Halon 1211, and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), while initiating reductions in the use of HFCs in accordance with the Kigali Amendment.
The UAE has further enacted clear legislation regulating the trade and use of hazardous chemicals, including precise requirements for storage, transport, and safe handling, to ensure the protection of the environment and public health.
The UAE continuously collaborates with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), regularly submitting progress reports on fulfilling its international commitments, and actively participating in the global Montreal Protocol meetings, reflecting its steadfast commitment to joint global environmental action.
Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs)
According to the Federal Competitiveness and Statistics Centre (FCSC), baseline consumption of HCFCs under the Montreal Protocol is calculated based on the average annual production or use during a defined reference period. UAE data shows that in 2015, consumption reached 473.90 tons measured in ozone-depleting potential (ODP) terms; already below the internationally required 10% reduction from the baseline of 557.1 tons. By 2020, UAE consumption had dropped to 353.59 tons, representing a 35% decrease.
From 2021 to 2024, the UAE continued to reduce HCFCs consumption, reflecting its ongoing efforts to meet international requirements within the set global timeframe and achieve the 2025 target of 67.5% reduction, ultimately leading to the full phase-out by 2040.
The UAE has achieved a new milestone by entering the list of the world’s top 10 countries for the first time in the World Talent Ranking (WTR) 2025, issued by the International Institute for Management Development (IMD) in Lausanne. Among 69 global economies assessed, the UAE ranked ninth worldwide advancing eight places compared to its position last year.
In the latest edition of the report, the UAE outperformed several advanced nations in talent competitiveness, including Austria, Canada, Finland, Germany, and Norway. This leap reflects the UAE’s pioneering position in implementing ambitious development policies, the effectiveness of its national strategies for attracting global talent and expertise, the advanced infrastructure’s readiness to support business and innovation, and its strong international appeal that has made the country a preferred destination for living, working, and investing.
According to the report, the UAE achieved a score of 77.86, securing the first place globally in five competitiveness criteria and ranking among the top 10 worldwide in 15 criteria across the main factors. The country is placed first regionally and globally in the “Readiness” factor, which measures the availability of skills and competencies in the labor market. It also ranked 12th worldwide in the “Appeal” factor, which reflects the ability to attract global talent, and moving up six places from its 2024 ranking in the “Investment and Development” factor, which measures national talent development.
UAE Leads in Global Talent Criteria
The UAE recorded exceptional progress in the 2025 report, achieving remarkable results in several sub-criteria that positioned it among the most competitive nations worldwide. The country ranked first globally in criteria such as collected personal income tax, labor force growth, international expertise, competent senior managers and student mobility inbound.
It also ranked second globally in foreign highly skilled personnel and finance skills; third globally in pupil-teacher ratio in secondary education, health infrastructure, availability of skilled labor, and graduates in sciences; fifth globally in primary and secondary education; sixth globally in apprenticeships; and eighth globally in brain drain and quality of life. These achievements underscore the UAE’s position as a global hub for talent, innovation, and competitiveness.
The Federal Competitiveness and Statistics Centre (FCSC) stated that this achievement reflects the forward-looking vision of the UAE leadership and its commitment to building a competitive knowledge-based economy that keeps pace with global transformations. It enables both national and international talent to contribute to sustainable growth, while affirming the UAE’s readiness to meet the evolving needs of the labor market through a competitive environment capable of attracting and retaining the world’s best talent.
The FCSC further emphasized that the UAE’s entry into the world’s top 10 in the WTR for the first time highlights the resilience of its national economy, its ability to adapt to global changes, and its focus on investing in human capital. It stressed that developing national talent, attracting global expertise, and building advanced human resource systems are fundamental pillars for strengthening the country’s global competitiveness and leadership.
This milestone demonstrates the UAE’s steady progress in consolidating its status as a leading global destination for talent and expertise, guided by visionary leadership and ambitious policies aimed at building a diversified, resilient economy capable of competing on the world stage and contributing to a more sustainable and advanced global future.
