Background-
The United Arab Emirates plans to invest an additional €15bn ($16.8bn) in Greece, expanding a joint initiative that both countries launched to deepen their economic and strategic partnership.
The UAE announced the plan during the official visit of Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, to Greece.
The new funding aims to strengthen long-term cooperation and create opportunities in sectors that both governments treat as development priorities.
It builds on the joint initiative that began with €4bn ($4.5bn). That framework has guided strategic investments and has already delivered completed deals in the energy and healthcare sectors. The latest step marks a major expansion of the partnership, and both sides want to build on existing projects and find new areas to work together.
The UAE pointed to Greece’s economic and investment strengths and its strategic location. Greece links European markets with regional and international ones.
The expansion should bring investment institutions and companies in both countries closer together. It should also support strategic projects and help them share expertise.
The partnership will encourage innovation and investment in sectors that support sustainable economic growth. The announcement shows the UAE’s aim to build long-term international investment partnerships.
Officials will share further details on timing, the institutions involved and the sectors that will receive funding as the plans move forward.
