  In the journey of life, each chapter presents its unique challenges, obstacles, and rewards. There are moments when we find ourselves overwhelmed, questioning whether we will ever reach the finish line. However, just like the narrative arcs of our favorite stories, there’s something deeply satisfying about a well-executed conclusion—one that feels both rewarding and fulfilling. Whether it's a personal goal, a professional project, or even a cherished movie or book, the feeling of completion is something we all strive for. It brings a sense of peace, knowing that despite the ups and downs, there was a purpose behind every step we took. And when the ending is good, it makes all the struggles worthwhile. The Importance of Completion In a world that moves at such a rapid pace, we often rush through tasks and events, focusing on the next big thing before we’ve even processed the current one. Yet, completing something gives us the chance to reflect. We can look back and appreciate the ...

UAE top Arab country for human capital

-

 

In the latest Human Capital Index rankings by the World Bank, the UAE is the top country in the Arab world and 44th globally.

According to World Bank rankings, the United Arab Emirates is the top Arab country to invest in human capital. It is ranked 44th globally, with Singapore taking the first spot, Japan second, Korea third. Among other GCC countries, Bahrain follows the UAE closely at 46th position with Oman at 64, Saudi Arabia at 84 and Kuwait at 88.

The annual Human Capital Index measures potential productivity in the health and education sectors covering nearly 98% of the global population. It indicates the levels of knowledge, skills and health that a child born today will accumulate over the course of the next 18 years till they reach adulthood. According to World Bank researchers, a higher human capital indicates better earnings of people, higher income for countries and strong, cohesive societies. It’s a key element of sustainable growth and poverty reduction.

In the UAE, 99 out of 100 children born survive to the age of five. A child who starts school at age 4 can expect to complete 13.5 years of school by her 18th birthday. Factoring in what children actually learn, expected years of school is 9.6 years. Between the advanced attainment score of 625 and a minimum score of 300, students in the UAE score 448. Across the UAE, 94 per cent of 15- year olds will survive until age 60. This number is an indication of the range of health risks that could beset a child that is born today by the time they become adult, under current conditions.

A child born in the country today will be 67 per cent as productive when she grows up as she could be if she enjoyed complete education and full health. This is higher than the average for the Middle East & North Africa region but lower than the average for High-income countries. Between 2010 and 2020, the Human Capital Index value for the United Arab Emirates increased from 0.62 to 0.67.

Enhancing Relationships: Sheikh Khaled’s Trip to India Signals a New Phase of UAE-India Relations.

-
The visit of H.H Sheik Khaled bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi to India is more than just a mere ceremonial occasion; this visit stands as a clear testimony of the longevity and dynamism of UAE-India relations. This association has become complex over time involving not just the economy but also major concerns such as sustainable development, trade, climate action etc. The dynamic relationship between the two nations has been redefined from their historical links into contemporary strategic alliances which makes this visit a natural follow-on from long-standing ties. Relationship between UAE and India are very historical in nature that started during the time when Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan was the founder of UAE, whereby his coming to India in 1975 established strong cultural and diplomatic ties. This has been done through several high-profile exchanges including the signing of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement in 2017 which made these...

The UAE's AI Ambitions Get a Boost with Nvidia Chip Approval: A Game-Changer for the Gulf Region.

-
The advance made by the United States in the approval of cutting-edge Nvidia chips to G42 is a historic development for UAE’s artificial intelligence ambitions. This strategy thus not only represents significant technological growth but also marks an important political milestone for UAE that wants to portray itself as a global hub for technology. In particular, accessing advanced AI technologies such as Nvidia’s H100 models has been significantly hindered over the years due to fears about UAE-China relations, with the US tightening its export restrictions in the area. However, this recent endorsement—a fact which received little attention—shows that there is now greater strategic flexibility and demonstrates how committed UAE is towards ensuring it stays clear from any possible Chinese influence if it wants to become one of our most reliable partners. The timing for G42’s bold distribution of these Nvidia chips could not be better. With worldwide AI rivalry heating up after the advent...
