Foreign non-oil trade of the Emirate of Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, has increased at a rate of 41% in 2004 to reach 215.73 billion Dirham ( USD 58.74 billion) due to a real estate upsurge.
Figures issued by Dubai commission for ports, costumes and free zone showed that non-oil trade increased by 25% in the four past years and is expected to grow by 64% in 2005.
