Abu Dhabi – This week, Etihad Credit Insurance (ECI) made a notable impact in China, engaging with influential business leaders and policymakers as part of the UAE Trade Mission led by H.H. Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The delegation participated in significant events, such as the 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE), the China-UAE Economic & Trade Cooperation Promotion Conference, and the AIM China Chapter 2025, emphasizing the increasing economic and strategic partnership between the two countries.

At the CIIE, ECI captured attention with its diverse trade credit insurance offerings, sharing insights into risk management services, market insights, and financial tools aimed at empowering UAE exporters on the global stage. Delegates visiting ECI’s booth discovered how these solutions help facilitate secure international trade while creating new business opportunities.

During the China-UAE Economic & Trade Cooperation Promotion Conference, ECI CEO Raja Al Mazrouei participated in a panel discussion focused on ‘Logistics, Trade, and Advanced Manufacturing.’ He emphasized the UAE’s pivotal role as a global trade hub and illustrated how ECI links SMEs to a vast network of over 400 million companies, assisting them in identifying potential buyers, suppliers, and cross-border alliances.

Raja pointed out that advancements in trade insurance and export credit practices are fostering deeper cooperation between the UAE and China, particularly in co-manufacturing and industrial projects. “Fostering SMEs is essential for economic diversification and resilience. Initiatives like Xport Xponential have mobilized AED 174 million in funding, which strengthens domestic value chains and attracts international investment,” he stated.

The AIM China Chapter panel, themed ‘Capital Flow in a New Multipolar World,’ further delved into global capital trends and industrial innovation. ECI’s involvement highlighted its commitment to empowering UAE businesses, enhancing supply chain resilience, and promoting sustainable trade in line with the UAE 2031 vision, which targets increasing non-oil exports to AED 800 billion.

Through its proactive engagement in China, ECI affirmed its role as a growth enabler, assisting UAE businesses in confidently navigating global markets while strengthening the economic partnership between the UAE and China.
