Official outbound investment data jointly released on September 29, 2026, by China's Ministry of Commerce showed that Chinese annual outbound direct investment reached $213.58 billion, representing an 11.1 percent increase year-on-year.
Direct investment into the Middle East more than doubled over the annual reporting cycle, with the United Arab Emirates ranking as the top regional recipient of Chinese capital flows.
Chinese net direct investment into the UAE reached $2.6 billion, more than tripling the capital volume recorded in the previous year. This brought the total stock of Chinese direct investment in the UAE to $12.47 billion.
The report stated that the growth was driven by major capital injections into the logistics, renewable energy, and digital infrastructure sectors.
