Dubai: The Dubai Jewellery Group has said that Dubai’s gold and jewellery sector continues to operate at strong capacity across multiple segments, underscoring the industry’s resilience amid ongoing regional and global challenges. The statement followed a meeting between the industry body and the Dubai Chamber of Commerce.

The discussion focused on ensuring smooth business operations across Dubai’s gold and jewellery ecosystem and exploring ways to maintain efficiency across the industry’s supply chain, manufacturing and retail activities. The sector remains one of the emirate’s most important commercial industries.

The meeting was attended by Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers, along with board members of the Dubai Jewellery Group, representing leading companies within the emirate’s jewellery trade.

Tawhid Abdullah, Chairman of the Dubai Jewellery Group, said that operational pressures related to logistics and supply chains have started to ease following the resumption of flights through Dubai International Airport.“The Government of Dubai’s unlimited support to all business sectors during the developments witnessed around the world has strengthened the resilience of the economy and reinforced the competitiveness of the private sector both locally and globally. The Government’s focus on developing Dubai’s commercial and investment ecosystem, together with the high level of efficiency with which the emirate responds to global developments, are vital factors in strengthening confidence and maintaining a positive environment among the private sector regarding the current position and long-term outlook for Dubai’s economy,” Abdullah stated.

He further noted that close co-ordination between the Dubai Chamber of Commerce, government bodies, companies and investors has helped strengthen the private sector’s resilience and enabled businesses to address challenges emerging from global developments.

Lootah highlighted the strategic importance of the jewellery trade to Dubai’s economy. “Dubai’s gold and jewellery industry ranks among the emirate’s most significant economic sectors. Through frequent engagement with key stakeholders, we are providing integrated support to ensure the seamless continuity of operations across all activities related to the trade and manufacture of gold and jewellery in Dubai. We are also working to strengthen companies’ ability to respond to developments effectively and efficiently, further reinforcing Dubai’s position as the global capital of gold and jewellery,” he said.

Participants at the meeting also acknowledged the preparedness of Dubai’s business ecosystem in responding to evolving global conditions while maintaining uninterrupted commercial activity and the smooth movement of goods.

The engagement forms part of a broader series of consultations organised by the chamber with business groups and councils to assess market conditions, review sector priorities and strengthen readiness across industries operating in Dubai’s economy.
