Several Pakistani companies have recently expanded into the UAE, especially Dubai.
Experts believe the UAE offers multiple advantages to Pakistani companies. These include a smoother payment process, a favourable business environment, stronger contract enforcement, and a reliable legal framework. The region also provides global connectivity and modern infrastructure, making it an attractive hub for expansion.
