A recent study by Mastercard reveals that 91% of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the UAE are optimistic about their business prospects for 2025. This high confidence level reflects the country’s strong economic environment, digital transformation, and government support for the sector.
According to the study, SMEs are particularly positive about growth opportunities, with many planning to expand operations, invest in technology, and enhance digital payment solutions. The report highlights the increasing adoption of e-commerce, fintech solutions, and AI-driven innovations as key factors driving business optimism.
