The UAE has pledged to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) across sectors with a AED 6 billion supply chain financing initiative, according to logisticsmiddleeast.com.

SMEs in the emirates made up 29% of GDP and 44% of the non-oil economy in 2019. The initiative includes a partnership between Daman and the Department of Finance and FAB to ensure business continuity and liquidity for those committed to protecting the health and safety of Abu Dhabi citizens and residents.
