The CEO of the Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation (PCFC), Nasser Al Neyadi, declared that the organization had a remarkable year with accomplishments that went beyond simple economic numbers to redefine the emirate’s place on the international trade map.
Motivated by His Highness’s audacious growth vision The PCFC’s commercial operations generated Dhs708 billion through 2024, according to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, Al Neyadi. This reinforces the PCFC’s role in facilitating trade flows through Dubai and as a financial and strategic pillar of the government budget while supporting Dubai’s global leadership in growth, sustainability, and competitiveness indicators.
Al Neyadi spoke during a “Meet the CEO” event hosted by the Government of Dubai Media Office, which was attended by prominent journalists and the chief editors of UAE newspapers. Tracing back the journey of Dubai’s customs and ports authorities to the establishment of the Furda Department on the shores of Dubai Creek in 1886, he recalled how that early institution marked the foundation of trade in the emirate, helping it evolve from modest resources and limited capabilities by virtue of its steadfast vision backed by unbounded determination.
He pointed out that the Furda Department, one of the oldest public organizations in the area, mirrored the beginning of Dubai’s transformation journey and propelled it into the forefront of the world’s most significant commercial and maritime hubs.
